    The D Drive is probably your recovery partition. Many manufacturers (HP, Gateway, Toshiba among others) will store an image of your drive as it came from the factory on that partition. You can then use it make recovery disks or to restore your PC to the way it came from the factory. Normally such a partion is 7-10g in size.
