Creating new partitions - problem

[Tomasz5]

Hi,

Two days ago I bought HP Pavilion dv7-6b40ew now I want to make few new partitions on my 640gb hdd, because It's not safe to have only C partition

I've downloaded EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition and there is list of partitions:

I can resize C: partition to size what I want:

but when I try to make new partitions from Unallocated space I have error:

I don't know what to do.

1) I read somewhere I must burn Recovery DVD and delete recovery partition and everything will be all right, is it true?

2) Is there a method to make new partitions without  remove Recovery partition? It's not nice when I must have DVD's with me when I go to somewhere.

Please for help how to make new partitions.

Greetings, Thomas

Thank-you but... I make first step from "ad1" after reboot all was ok, after step 2 reboot I had blue screen and windows try to repair hdd but failed now I make recovery... I have no ideas...

okay I think everything is good, after recovery I had a C partition (150gb) what I set before and unallocated space as logical so.. I can set all my partitions as I want. So much thanks!
