    i would leave it alone, unless you are willing to take the chance of loosing everything on the recovery partition. That's always a chance when you move the data and change the partition size.....

    but, you can use something like acronis disk director 10
    partition magic, gpart, etc, to do it. Or " cute partition Manager" is freeware and simple to use
