Hi,
Usually that small partition is part of the system recovery method used by
Dell and other manufacturers when the system image is in a hidden partition.
That small block of space is used when the recovery software is needed, and
is often accessed by booting with a floppy or some other media (check your
user manual). This is quite normal.
