ServiceV002 partition on my T61, to delete or not to delete?

[sokos]

My new baby came with Vista, that i wiped off and installed XP Pro.
Before that, thank to the help of this great forum, i created System Recovery DVD's.

Now i have a partition 4.85GB that is called ServiceV002.
Shall I go ahead and delete it or will it give me a hard time with MBR etc.. does it need to stay there?

I was just wandering why this is created, sorry to ressurect an old thread but these Servicev002 partitions have just popped up on my main disk and on my USB HDD disk wierdly. They can't be for the Vista restore parition that comes with it because that's called SW_Preload and was there way before.

I did have a problem where I needed to use the vista recovery console and also booted into the Thinkpad recovery environment that looks a bit like XP safe mode. Would appreciate the advice on what they are and if it's ok to delete both of them... they're taking up quite a lot of space.

Thanks.

Was your WinXP from Lenovo OEM Disks or the Retail Version?
