Did the PC come with recovery media? Many don't these days.
Did you go thru the process of creating recovery media as you need to do with most PC these days?

If neither of these is an option, you need to make a full back up before doing anything else. All versions of Windows 7 include a full system backup option.

In any case you probably really don't want to delete the HP_RECOVERY partition. What does your documentation say?

If trying gparted from a live CD doesn't work, there is at least one commercial partition manager that is available for free (Paragon), check CNet's download.com.
