2 OS's and 2 HDD's

Hi guys,
 
I have a 4100 with 1G Intel 3, 512R, 80gATA HDD running Me.
 
I recently performed a clean install and used a HDD with XPpro installed on it to save my files to.
All seemed well until I reinstalled the XP loaded HDD back to master and moved the files over to the slaved Me HDD. It seems that the XP OS has changed some settings on the Me HDD and has added a few files and folders such as "Archives" and "System Volume Information" < !?!
 
Should this be happening? I re-performed the clean install and I'm hesitant to try it again before gaining a better understanding. The bios is set to boot from the ARMD-HDD then IDE-HDD.
 
TIA

    Resonant Evil,
     
    Thank you for visiting the Dell Community Forum.
     
    This does not sound unusual; Windows XP will create certain folders on all mounted drives.
