Run diskmgmt.msc from Vista.

Right click on the C partition and select "Shrink volume" and shrink to say 50GB. After shrinking the partition, you will have a free unallocated space of 130GB and create as much partitions you want.

btw ... I am not exactly sure if the restore manager will continue working, most probably it should work, since the D partition is not touched.
