Note: If the D partition is deleted, the Recovery CD will no longer
restore
the PC. Think before you do it.

If you DO want to save the info on the D partition, you MAY want to
consider - getting a new,bigger hard drive and THEN running a program which
MAY come with it to copy your old data to your new drive. OR purchase a
program, such as Norton Ghost (~$25).
You'll end up with a bigger drive AND still have your old data.
Simply then make the new drive the master (- drive C) and then reboot - all
your info is still there. All of C and all of D.

For Compaq PC users who have a "D" partition on their hard drive,
there is now a service pack SP22827 which will eliminate the
partition. The following is from the web site;
==============
This application creates a bootable diskette, which can be used to
delete the D: Partition installed on certain Compaq Presario
computers. This application may be used on Compaq Presario computers
with partitioned hard disk drives to remove the D: Partition and
expand the C: Drive to include all the space that was included in the
D: Partition. Please refer to the main text to insure that your model
is listed.
