OEM partition on new Win8 laptop

I've just got a new HP laptop with Windows 8 and want to partition my drive as I like to have separate logical drives to use.

When I run disk management I see the following:

Healthy (Recovery Partition) 400MB
Healthy (EFI System Partition) 260MB
RECOVERY(D) Healthy (OEM Partition) 22.83GB
RECOVERY(D) Healthy (OEM Partition) 22.83GB
Windows(C) Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash. 907.91GB

I have 2 questions:

1) Why does the D drive appear twice?

2) When I try to shrink the C drive it only allows me to free 463712MB leaving 465990MB allocated to it. I want to make it smaller. Is this related to the presence of the D drive, or is there something else going on?

I'm not too bothered about the D drive being there, I just want to get the C drive split into 3 logical drives of roughly similar size.
