Making Recovery CDs and removing hidden partition

[milkster]

I just created some recovery cds on my new t43 using the option under Start -> Programs -> Access IBM -> Create Recovery CD.
I'd like to know if i can now delete the hidden partition to free up some room on the HD. How do i do that, can i just use Fdisk? Is it a good idea to delete this partition? Any pros and cons....

Yes you can delete the partition. You might need to unhide the partition in BIOS first.

Shouldn't have a problem deleting the partition with any partitioning tool. Great idea making the recovery Cd's first.

But is it possible to restore my OS to factory-state using that disk set without disturbing partitions/OS I've created/added?
