Hello Sonovaio, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You wouldn't want to convert the "Recovery" partition since that is your OEM factory recovery partition. If you do, you will no longer be able to use it to restore Windows 7 back to factory defaults with it. This also will cause you to lose the F11 function at boot to enter factory recovery.
If you wanted to convert the C: partition to logical to be able to shrink space from C: and create another partition from the unallocated space shrunk from C: , then you would need to use the Partition Wizard Free Bootable CD since the C: partition in the Windows 7 "system" partition and is in use. You would not be able to convert a "system" partition that is in use. You will not lose any functionality by converting the C: drive to logical instead of primary at boot.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
