I have 150 gig (almost full) in my C and almost two TB in my D. So basically I have a huge D drive with nothing in it. Anyone know how I can extend several hundred gig from D to C in Windows 8??
Without touching the data in C?

Not sure what you mean, but what's keeping you from simply copy/cut and paste several gigs of data (music, pics, vids,...) from your C to your D Drive?

If you want to keep your C drive (relatively) empty, I'd recommed you set your "libraries" to the D drive (docs, music, pics, downloads,...). To do so (in win 8) right click them and select properties. Then select whatever folder you'd like (on your D drive, I take it). Then all you need to do is manually move all the files so they appear in your library once again.

After that, uninstall progs you no longer need, run some cleanup tool, and you should have a nicely cleaned up C Drive. As an example: I got win8 and office on my C drive, as well as some games, which takes about 115gb (75gb of that are games). If you have a SSD drive, try to keep about 20% empty for max performance.

Thanks BasV :) . I figured it out. Just delete the empty D partition and expand the C to include all that space. Basically I just wanted one big D drive :) .
