delete an unwanted partition

i just bought a new laptop with windows vista there is a partition on the
harddrive called healthy (EISA configuration). the shop i bought the laptop
from told me that it is just for the system back up disc and once a created
the system restore diac i could delete the partition. i went into computer
management and then disc management like i was told and i right clicked the
partition i was told just click delete and it would be gone. when i right
click on this partition the only option i get is help. can i really delete
this partition without it affecting anything else and if so how do i do it?
thanks for any help

Pricey product but one I had. With the current Vista-compatible update to
Acronis Disk director Suite 10, you just right click on the EISA partition,
set a drive letter, restart, and the partion is then visible and manipulable
as a basic drive. Be careful about your drive leter assgnation.
