WINDOWS 7 SHRINK DISK UNMOVABLE FILES

 * Windows 7 Shrink Disk Partition

I have just bought an HP laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit). It has a 500 GB HDD
with three partitions: a small hidden system partition, a 12 GiB HP recovery
partition, and a 450 GiB C: boot partition. I would like to split this large C:
partition into two partitions, leaving only 100 GiB for the system, and giving
the rest to a new data partition.

How can the answer be improved?


WINDOWS 7 SHRINK DISK PARTITION

Although the Windows built-in Disk Management utility has an option to shrink
the bootable partition, it only allows me to shrink it roughly by half, even
though only 20 GiB on the partition is used. As far as I understand, system
unmovable files lie in the middle of the partition, preventing Disk Management
utility to do what I want. And since new HP laptops don't come with OS
installation disks (they only allow you to create recovery disks yourself), I
can't just repartition HDD and then reinstall OS. So, is there a way to shrink
the C: bootable partition and preserve Windows 7 working? P.S.: I have tried to
use the third-party utility, and after shrinking the partition, Windows 7
stopped booting, with a. System recovery didn't work, and I had to do factory
recover.
