Click to expand...

Rip

the d:\ dirve can be deleted but make sure your system backups, and OS re-install may be hidden there

If you want to delete it you may need to use a 3rd party disk amangement app like paragons disk suite.

hope this helps

yes using a 3rd party app you can expand the c: partition. paragon has a 30 day trial that is free and there is partition wizard personal which is also free. either should do the job. partition wizard is simpler.

rip you need to do some fiddling. Afer you delete D you are going to need to "expand" c: that will force a reboot for the changes to take effect.

Its pretty bullet proof. Just make sure you dont need D, and do a back up of C.

let me know if you need help
