Can you partition after window installation?

Yes you can ! My Windows 7 laptop came with it's 232 GB hard-drive equally split into two partitions. One has Windows on it, the other is the recovery partition. However - the recovery data uses less than 8GB of the space - so I moved the partition with the aid of Ease-US software (see related link). I didn't need to do extensive back-ups or re-load any software. It moved the partition seamlessly and safely - I now have a 200GB partition for use with Windows 7.
