I purchased an Asus laptop and there appears to be a weird partition (or some weird setup) of the hard drives. I have 2 drives on the laptop- C: (OS) and D: (Data). The C: is about 230gb and D: 930gb... and unsurprisingly I ran out of space pretty quickly. The D: seems to be protected and does not allow me to write anything to it. I tried to pay around with partitions using the windows partition tool, but it basically won't let me move space between the drives- I can just further break up space inside the C: and D: I've tried to google a process to solve this, but I get the sense that playing around with this protected D: could be risky, and the random forum posts I've found don't instill a lot of confidence in me that it's not missing a step or that it's too complex for me to follow. Any help in giving me more usable space?

"The D: seems to be protected and does not allow me to write anything to it." What exactly has occurred to make this seem to be the case? If you open Windows Explorer and navigate to D: from there what happens? Can you create folders on D:? Does trying to write to D: generate errors? Does D: not show up as a location in Save dialogues? For a computer with two drives that partition structure looks normal.
