Hi, My laptop's C: drive is almost full, but D: drive is 30% empty. I know I can extend it with a tool like partition manager.
The thing is I don't want to loose any data on C drive, it is OK to loose data on D.
Should I take a backup with Clonezilla - About first?

Aah! I see.
The second primary is being used for Ubuntu (dual boot). So, I don't think I can expand C drive taking space from another. Do I have any other way?
I have a 1 TB empty hard drive so I can take a backup if needed.
Grub defines partitions as root=(hd0,0)
or things like hda1.
So no problem at all if you simply make the partitions larger/smaller. Use partition wizard free to do it. Use option move/resize.
Okay.
C: (Windows)
Ubuntu
E:
D:
I can free up D:
Scenario 1:
I shrink D:
then extend E: to take space we got from D:
then shrink the beginning of E: to make space for ubuntu
then resize ubuntu to take space we got from E:
then resize C: to take space we get from shrinking ubuntu
Scenario 2:
Can I just move the C: partition data to D: ?
