I think you should quit now. If the partition in question contains Dell's
diagnostics - they're available separately. Besides which, they suck. If the
partition in question contains the factory image - call Dell, sell them a
heartbreaking sob story and they'll likely give or sell you a set of recovery
disks. Meanwhile, merge the hidden partition into C: (with the likes of
Partition Magic) and enjoy the extra disk space.

If the OP's laptop is like my XPS-M1330, the diagnostice and
recovery partitions are below (ahead) of the C: partitions, so a merge
would put the new space *under* the current OS. How accessible
that space would be and how that would affect addressing within the
partition, I don't know, but it sounds dangerous.
