I saw that I have 520MB of Healthy Recovery Partition in which I failed to shrink and the error was "you may not shrink OEM, ESPY or recovery partitions, or, offline volumes. The volume you have selected may not be shrunk. Please select another volume and try again.".) (Also when I shrink from C: and then I do not see new partition which suppose to be seen).

So kindly help.

    Why do the instructions say to select that partition if its the incorrect one?

    They don't. Why does anybody claim this to begin with?

    I dont understand....I tried following the steps on the windows site and it tells you to select the recovery partition but I got the error you did. Why do the instructions say to select that partition if its the incorrect one?

    Thanks, I realized where I was going wrong, it was just at the time of selecting the primary disk to shrink it, instead of selecting the primary partition I selected the recovery partition.

    That reason i receipt the error:
    You may not shrink OEM, ESP, or recovery partitions, or, offline volumes.

    The volume you have selected may not be shrunk. Please select another volume and try again.

    That's right, your WinRE partition is # 4.

    You don't have the skills to do this manually. Don't even try it.
