    Does anyone know how to create a bootable second partition on one of the DV6 machines using the Windows Disk Management utility in Windows 7? I've tried in the past but creating a new partition converts the entire HD into a "dynamic" disk making any/all new partitions non-bootable and also renders the recovery partition with factory settings useless... In particular, I'd like to know if this is doable on the DV6 2153ee ( Product Specifications - HP Customer Care (United States - English))

    Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
