        You shrunk it, using what tool?

        Anyway, if you don't have a tool, see here:

          There's not enough info in your screenshot...right click Drive 0 and select Properties...post back with the details.

            If done improperly you risk losing ALL your Data...
            The Recovery partition is your copy of Vista...i wouldn't fool with that either.
