I learned today that only 4 partitions are allowed on a single drive. Since Lion uses (2) partitions, one for the OS and another for the Recovery, then there is the EFI partition, that leaves me with only (1) partition left which I have Win7 on. Is it "OK" to delete the Lion Recovery partition so I can install Win8?

I found this guide here -> http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/30/deleting-the-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-recovery-hd-partition/

Will deleting the Recovery partition with that method keep my Lion and Windows 7 partition safe?
