Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 does not store a disk signature in free space! The NT Disk Signature is stored in the Master Boot Record (sector 0) of a hard disk. I'd like to know where you got the idea disk signatures were stored in free space? The approx. 8 MiB of free space left on disks by some of these operating systems is reserved, whether needed or not, for converting them from Basic to Dynamic Disks; if the user chooses to do so. I believe you may have confused a Basic Disk's NT Disk Signature with the GUID signatures of a Dynamic Disk; which might be created/stored near the end of a hard disk, but would still not be considered free space.
