go to the GParted website and follow their instructions for making a bootable CD
you need to run checkdisk before using GParted to make sure the disk is in good shape, to do this open my computer, right click on your hard drive (looks like you've got one hard drive with multiple partitions...so do this for each drive shown in my computer just to be safe) and choose properties, then click on tools, then click the button next to disk check, check both boxes and press ok, if it asks you to schedule a checkdisk on reboot tell it yes, then reboot the computer
then boot to the GParted CD that you made earlier and follow These instructions to resize your partitions, you'll want to first shrink the D drive (maybe by 25 GB) then grow the I drive
after you run this you'll have to restart the computer and it will want to run checkdisk again, make sure to let that run to completion
with any drive modification like this you should make a backup of anything important that's on the computer BEFORE going ahead with the resize
