You should try and get a partitioning tool.
Really easy to use.
And free

Will I be able to keep my windows 7 system and restore it from recovery media dvd without the need to re-partition again?
What's the preferred size for c:\ partition?

Thanks.

Yes...
And depending on what you want to save in the C:/.
100-300. I actually have a 560gig HDD and I allocated 200GIG to C:/.I don't save my random files there anyway just to keep them save if I encounter a prob answer should format.
