Fortunately with my wife's help and the DOS FDISK utility we were able to delete it a while ago. Sadly this is not or will never be an accessible activity.

David, I have had similar issues with factory installed hard drives in my Acer tower. I was never able to delete that partition short of running the clean command in diskpart. However, this totally wipes the hard drive and then you need to put back the partitions you want. Not a big deal with Image for Window's but still more work than simply being able to delete the partition.

This system has a hidden partition that will boot the system if a secondary power button is pressed for recovery purposes. I am considering removing this and making it a duo boot kind of a deal. I have partition magic 8 if that helps anybody diagnose this problem.
