I am trying to install Ubuntu 15.04 on my Windows 7 HP pavilion g6. Since it already has 4 partitions even if a create a new unallocated partition the Ubuntu installer shows it as "unusable". The 4 partitions are as follows 

1 system 
2 (c:)
3 recovery 
4 hp_tools

How can I add and use an extra partition?

I had a similar problem on my Asus notebook. Asus offered tools to store the recovery information on an external hard drive (or a DVD), such that I could safely delete the recovery partition. Maybe HP has something similar?

Edit: it's written down in the how-to's concerning recovery on the support site.
