Got a hand me down PC (Dell). Running Pent Dual Core with 6GB, 1TB HD. Adequate for my needs.

Did a clean instal on W7 and partitioned the HD. I used the Computer Management app to partition it. It would only let me shrink the boot partition down to 473GB. Far larger than I need or want it to be. I wanted to shrink it down to about 150GB. Can this be done

Can I delete the factory restore partition without any ill effects? I usually build my own systems (just built a HTC computer I7. SSD. 6GB and a bluray player) so I am not to familiar with this hidden partition thing.

Thanks
