Deleting Recovery Drive?

I have a quick question.

Is it ok if i delete the recovery volume of my hard drive (it is before my actual WinXP partition). It is a hidden drive that has a fresh XP install on it. I dont really need it as my computer also came with the Install disc for windows. Will it mess up my C: drive if I delete it and move my C to the beginning? Im trying to free up some space, but if that doesnt work, I could just reformat the beginning partition and use it as a 1.8gig drive (but itll be more cluttered with 4 partitions on my 60GB drive).

Its an Asus laptop.

 

This is what my drive looks like:

 

|Recovery (FAT32) 1.8GB| | Windows C: (NTFS) 54.0GB |

 

I would like it to look like this:

 

|Windows(NTFS| |Mac OSX (HFS+)| |Media Drive (FAT32)|

 

Can I delete the recovery and merge it into the Windows or create a partition after it?

Otherwise I could just convert the recovery into FAT32 but not have it hidden and use that as a little storage facility for OSX (since it can only read NTFS,correct?)

 

And for reading my windows partition, will it just appear or will i have to mount it manually?
