Mysterious 8 MB Drive

On my ThinkPad X60 Tablet, in some programs such as HD Tune, there's an 8 MB storage device with no label. Windows Explorer doesn't see it so I can't try writing files to it, but I have been able to benchmark it (it's rather slow). What is this?

I take it your main drive is formatted with NTFS then? It's a Microsoft 'feature'.Can't be used, always there except under Windows 7 where it is now 100MB. That's progress for you

Yes, as the previous poster said. It's a NTFS system partition, you can't/shouldn't delete it.
Anyhow, with the current HD capacities, who cares about 8MB?
