You would need to use a third party partition manager software such as Ranish Partition Manager . What brand of computer do you have? Who partitioned your hard drive or did it come with two partitions? If it is a Dell or HP or other name brand PC then your D: partition holds your Recovery Partition used for reinstalling Windows, so you would not want to repartition or you will lose the ability to reinstall your Operating System.
It's a Dell, so I guess I'm out of luck?
I don't remember having two hard drives when I got my computer a few years ago. I think someone partitioned my HD when I had it reformatted last year. I could be wrong though and it might have been this way the whole time.

what you would do is get the GParted live cd ISO (all instructions are on that site), burn it to disk as a bootable disk (we can give instructions if you need them) tehn backup all the data you have in the D partition...either by moving it to C or putting it on CDs or whatever you have available...then you would boot to the GParted disk and delete the D partition...then resize the C partition to fill the drive...then you'd reboot. let chkdsk run..and voila....one partition
