    Partitioning program, like PartitionMagic. It costs money, but there are free programs out there.

    Three good ways:
    If you have Norton PartitionMagic use it to merge the two partitions together.
    If you don't have NPM, download the latest GParted LiveCD (Linux version of NPM) and use it to merge the partitions.
    If you have Vista, copy all your files from D to C...delete the D partition then merge C and the unallocated space through Vista's disk management program.
