Hello again..

i'm trying to do it with windows disk managment (by first shrinking the big partition) but it's showing the mouse "working" logo for a long time with no change.. don't even know if i should stop this and how..

TO SHRINK THE VOLUME

Open Computer Management by clicking the Start button ,
clicking Control Panel,
clicking System and Maintenance,
clicking Administrative Tools,
and then double-clicking Computer Management.* (If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.)
In the Navigation pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.
Right-click the volume you want to shrink, and then click Shrink Volume.

Follow the instructions on your screen.

i no what you mean but you cant take it from that partition and add it like that you have to delete D then increase C then make another D of your desired size
