    You can burn it to a DVD or something for future.If you delete it,you can't do a system restore to factory settings.

    As long as you burn the recovery DVDs first (Dell may have provided you with some already) and have that black utilities disc...you can safely delete the partition.

    That EISA partition is only for restoring the OS to the factory condition, and diagnostics tools found on the black CD.
