I have a new Win 8  laptop with a GPT disk.  In addition to the EFI and two recovery partitions, there is a large C and a large D partiotion.  I would like to shrink one or both of these and make another partition, before or after D. 

What tools can I use to do this?  The current setup is 300 mb EFI, 600 mb recovery, 184 gb C, 250 gb D, and 20 gb recovery partitions.  This is a 500 gb drive. 

 

I have been told that if I shrink the C and D the recovery partiotions may be damaged and the disk wil be lost.  I did a system image with Acronis True Image 2013 (older versions will not handle GPT disks) as well as Windows system and recovery disks

but I really don't want to crash the system.

any suggestions?
