    Or should I just leave it on and do it after my clean install?

    Is it the Recovery Partition ? It might be in EISA config, that's why Vista is saying its important. Check out Disk Management.

    The small size of Partition 1 looks like it is the Recovery Partition - but like the earlier poster mentioned, use GParted - it will remove anything because it is a Linux based disk partitioner.

    Try not to resize the Vista partition, otherwise you might screw up winload.exe and will need to run Vista Repair to re-build the bootloader.. Allocate the 1.5GB to the other partition.
