hi SIW2
Please could you help me about partition in my HP Pavilion, windows 7 started?. I have 240 gb in C (OS) but i have 03 more partition (Recovery, HP Tools, and System) .
With partition wizard I can shrink my C partition until 40 gb (it is i want) and the 200 gb became in "Unallocated space" but in this unallocated space I could´t create a new partition. The massage is "There no a MBR slots on the disk"...what can I do?
I want to create a new partition with my 200 gb to put My Documents here and separate fron the C (OS).
Thanks

Are you running Partition Wizard from the boot CD?
edit: It sounds like what happened is you already have 4 primary partitions. That's the max. There's only 4 spaces in the MBR partition table. You need to convert(usually the last) one to an extended partition. Then inside that you can make many logical partitions.
I have Partition Wizard but I haven't used it yet. I'd look for a forum on their site for particular things about using their software. Just be careful when you convert a primary to an extended you don't lose your data. You may want to make backups of everything first.
Hi there Miles Ahead
No, I dont runnin partition Wizard from Boot CD , I had installed the partition wizard in my laptop. So I running double clicking in the desktop icon.
In My Windows 7 Disk manager I see 4 partitions
C: operating system + My Documents
D: recovery
*: HP Tools
*: System
How can i convert or craete extend partition?. About my data my laptop is new so i dont have any document yet. Can you please guide me about create extend partition from primary partition with Partition Wizard?
Are you sure that only 4 partitions is the limit?
I hope you can help me please
Thanks

The limit is 4 primary partitions. You need to change one of the primary partitions into an extended partition. See this article:
Change partition type between logical and primary without data losing.
Hi,
That is a little awkward.
If you alter one of the oem partitions ( recovery or tools) you likely won't be able to access it.
You could make the C partition into your "System" partition, then delete the 100 mb partition.
You would then have a free slot.
You can do it with this.

Hello to all!I'm italian so first of all I apologise for my english.
I bought a notebook HP dv6 2135sl with W7 and I have the same problem.
The partitions are all primary and the order is the sequent:
C (450GB)
hp tool (99MB)
recovery (16GB)
sistem (199MB)
I would like to decrease C until 50GB and create two other partitions: J (Programmes 150GB) and K(Data 250GB). Is it possible? I understood that I have to change one of the 4 partitions into extended. Which one is the best?Can I use only PM or I need the operation that SIW2 was starting describing a week ago?How?
Thank you to all!!!!!!

Can someone explain me jow to do it with PW?
I enclose a screenshot from PW
Thanks a lot
hi...just want to share my experience, after i am reading all comments for this thread. i can use partition wizard, and the maximum dirve are 2 (C and D, 2 others are for system and HP_Tools, my laptop is HP DV6-3127DX).
I have faced a same problem before like huffman on last sept 2009,
Again everything was as it should be so I click Apply and got this:
and this message comes up because I pass the maximum limit of shrink volume for drive C. then I just change the shrink volume, it is working. before I have C 440GB, D 20GB, now C 230GB, D 230GB
You have to jiggle it about a bit, decreasing first whilst using the option where to place the now unallocated space. In your case 'before'.
Then work backwards until you have the unallocated spaces after the C:\. Then you can enlarge the C:\
Bit fiddly and time consuming but can be done.
