You can use partition softwares to partition the drive.
eg: Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition(its free)

Partition WizardWindows PC and Server Disk Partition Management Software

Or,if you have the original Win 8 cd and product key,you can re-install Win 8 and during the process partition the hard disk. But doing this may result in losing all your data.

Testimonial: "sidharthx thx for ur reply actually the situation is much more complicated 1st i got a 1tb hdisk partitioned mostly to the C: about 850 gb and the rest for the recovery any attempt to resize u lose the okr feature and ur genuine windows which is built in hdisk"

1. Turn off your compter.

2. Look for theOne Key Recovery button on your PC. It's near the power button.

3. Press the OKR button, wait until your computer turns on.

4. After Windows loading files you'll be routed on Lenovo One Key Rescue System.

5. Select One Key Recovery then, select restore from Intial back up.

Usually it will take 20-30 minutes for the whole process to be done. Once it's finish just reboot your computer.

If this fails, then call them.

try pushing the OKR (One Key Recovery)button, because the lenovo has a hidden partition of the OS it self. the OKR button is located near on the ON/OFF button.
WARNING, if your going to do the OKR try to back your file first because once you proceed on the Restoring the computer back to factory setting. All your files will be gone
