New HP laptops like HP TouchSmart TM2 & some others come with some weird sort of partition "lock". You get 3 partitions initially- one C drive, recovery and Hp tools. As soon as you shrink C you get message that partitions are dynamic and you cannot install OS in it. On top HP TouchSmart comes with no CD drive. And its recovery is above 20 GB. Most people don't have 32 GB pen drives and one cannot trust windows recovery to not erase other partitions on external hard discs :P
So one can use certain partition editors. I used partition magic & it did the work. A friend of mine who faced same problem sometime back had to pay Rs.300 at the local HP service center for it. LOL
