Howdy:
You are going to need some sort of third party program such as Partition Magic to accomplish what you are hoping to do.
My best suggestion would be to move your "My Documents" folder over to D: drive as well as any personal files, pics, etc. Just make new folders on D: drive that will tell you what is in them.
Also, any new programs you get can be installed to D: drive rather than C: drive. Just change the default install location when you are prompted as to where you want the program to install (Change c: drive to D: drive)
Other than the above there is very little else you can do.

Thank you for the help. I will do that. Just wasn't sure if I could since some one told me that D: drive is for system programs and stuff. Thanks again

Recovery partitions are very small to begin with NOT 35GB's worth of space.

Acer splits the drive into three - one for Windows, one for backup, one for system recovery. Sony do the same thing. As do Medion.
