Chapter 10 - Creating a Save-To-Disk Partition
The hard drive shipped in your computer has a save-to-disk partition in which data
from system and video memory is stored during save-to-disk mode. The partition
is the maximum size needed for your computer and supports system memory of
256 MB. You can add memory modules to your computer without changing the
size of the partition.

drive before deleting the partition if you feel unsure about how to do this.
