are there deleted files in the recycle bin waiting to be cleared out? These will take up space until you do.

Get yourself a little app called treesize. It tells you where the space is being taken up.

remove any old programmes you have on D file.go into your add/remove programmes and look for anything you dont use.scrap it.the do a disc clean up of D.rights click on D..go to properties and so on.

What way is your PC set up in terms of drives/partitions? For example is C: your main OS drive and D: is some secondary drive/partition? I know that some laptops come preconfigured like this - i.e. C: partition for OS and applications and D: partition for user data. What sizes are the two partitions? What is on each? How much free space is available on each? Go to Start > My Computer right click and choose Manage and then choose Storage > Disk Management to check.
