I partitioned my external hard drive so that I could use half for my Windows backup and half for my Time Machine backup.

I booted into Windows and backed up my computer. However, Windows removed both of my partitions and replaced it with a single partition called "Recovery". I'm fine with this. I just want to make a second partition so I can also store my OS X backup. However, when I go into Disk Utility, it's not letting me make a second partition without deleting the first partition.
