2.how to shrink C drive to my desired size?
3.should the newly created partitions be logical or primary?

Hi! I'm new to this thread and I realize you already have a bunch of helpers here, so I'll not add any advice that differs from what you've already gotten.
I read through the thread a couple of hours ago and saw where Gregrocker had outlined steps you can take to complete what you're looking for, so until one of the helpers responds I'd just recommend reviewing that post to determine your next move.
just as Arc said, google it and i found a Video help on how to convert dynamic disk to basic disk with Partition Wizard partition magic?
In PW select the 574GB partition and resize it. Then create the logical partitions in the unallocated space. Of course apply the changes. Post screenshot afterwards.hai friends,here's the screenshot of my disk management after reinstalling windows:

Create the unallocated space AFTER (not before) your 574GB partition!
Converting the HP_TOOLS to logical is not the way to go. Logical partitions should be adjacent to each other. Don't touch the HP_TOOLS and RECOVERY tools partition anyway.... because they are used for recovery. "system reserved" must be primary as well, because system boots from ACTIVE partition from disk. And only primary partitions can be active. So keep those 3 partitions as they are now!!

It resizes the C and adds 3 logical partitions. You want only 2 then create 2 of course
574GB is already logical?
