Comment:

Vista keeps warning me that D partition has very little space available (5.3GB all used up). C partition has 292GB. So, using the Vista partition manager I reduced C by 20GB. PC showed 20GB unallocated. But, when I tried to extend D the extend option is greyed out.
What to do since I believe the restores are on D and it appears to be too small.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Your D partition would be the recovery partition set up by HP and has no need to be larger.
Disregard Vista warning.

Start --> Settings ---> Control Panel ---> System ---> Advanced System Settings
Under the Advanced tab, go to PERFORMANCE Settings.
Then go to the Advanced tab again.
Under Virtual Memory, click CHANGE.
Select Drive D: and then select NO PAGING FILE, and then click SET.
Reboot.
(This will delete the paging file from Drive D: freeing up some space, getting rid of that Vista warning.)
Just make sure you are doing this for Drive D and not Drive C - drive C needs a paging file to operate properly.
