What is that "other" partition on my drive for?

(Sorry for the vague title.)
When I got my system, it had the standard C: drive and another partition, the S: drive. It is 1.46 GB, but is 44% free space. Lenovo's tech support could not give me a clear description of what it's used for, but they were adamant that I not remove it.

What is it? While it get destroyed if I try to fresh install Windows7? Can (or should) I destroy it if I reinstall Windows 7?
