Three partitions.
C: is getting full.

D: and E: have vacant space.

Want to get rid of D: and share space with C: and E:.

Making C: larger and new D: larger.

How to steps?

These are what I'd do using the EaseUS partition manager - though the
built-in utility in 7 might do them:

0. Back up everything (of course).
1. Move whatever's on D: to E:.

(Those are independent of choice of tool.)

2. Remove D:.
3. Expand C: to include the space where D: was.

Done. Assuming you are happy with the sizes you'll get.

HOWEVER!

I would take a look at WHY your C: is getting full. For 7, I'd say 50 -
maybe 100 if you have a 1T or bigger drive - G is more than enough for
C: for Windows 7. Mine's 100 (well 99.9) as I have a 1T (well of course
only 931G really) drive, but only 34.8G occupied after some while using
7. I'm sure we can (and probably will) argue forever about the numbers,
but I'd definitely look into it. How big _is_ your C:, how much (if more
than say 40G) _is_ used, and (again if over 40G) what is the main thing
occupying it? (I like WinDirStat for assessing that; others will have
their own suggestions.)

Best tool ?

Last time I wanted a partition manager, I got the EaseUS one, and since
it does what I want, I haven't looked at any others, so I can't say if
it's better or worse than any. Its user interface is to me _very_ like
the one that comes as part of 7 ("Create and manage hard disc
partitions" - start typing partiti into the start box and it should
appear), though that may be true of most of them.

Thank you !

YW; HIH.
