Jul 29, 2012 8:31 AM in response to zzeeshanby luca85,I need to add a note to my post. With the method outlined in the link by Movreak I met two inconveniences:
1. Even if I prepared the first partition for windows in NTFS Windows 7 I was not able to work straight on on that partition, so when installing Windows I needed to delete that partition first and then I was able to proceed with the installation.
2. When I needed to boot from the second recovery partition I was really not able to select it in the boot screen you get after you press alt. No matter which of the two recovery partitions I chose I was anyway using the one where the original copy of OSX was installed. To solve the problem I copied the recovery partition to my USB pen, and from there I had no more problems.
To do that you need to use this Lion utility provided by Apple (which worked also for Mountain Lion):

To ds store:
thanks for your suggestion but I'm still interested in having a Windows-Data-OSX setup, which I do for none of the reasons you wrote in your post. It is really a shame that Apple doesn't make it easier to have such a setup, and I'm quite tired of the way it imposes their choices upon the user.
