It is possible, but it will take a bit of time and effort. First you would need to extend the E partition to include the free space to the right of it. Once that is done, then you would need to resize the E partition to the right to create free space after the D partition. Once that is done, you can then extend the D partition into the newly created free space. If you have trouble using the Windows partitioning tool to get the job done, there are other good third party apps, like Partition Master, Easeus Partition, or Aomei Partition Master you can use. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Customized build from CyberPower OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP 1 CPU Intel i5 2500k Motherboard Asus P8P67 Deluxe Memory 8 gigabytes Corsair PC3-12800 DDR3 Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 460 superclocked Sound Card Integrated Monitor(s) Displays ViewSonic 23" LCD Screen Resolution 1980 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech USB Mouse Microsoft 3 button PSU Coolermaster 1000 watt modular Case Coolermaster HAF X full tower Cooling Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus Hard Drives 120 Gb Samsung 840 Pro SSD

I use Partition Wizard to perform this type of task, it's free and is simple enough to use. You can download it from; Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.
Once you have downloaded the prograrm, view the "Main Features" section and select "Extend Partition" on the same page;

Use free Partition Wizard bootable CD burned to CD using Windows Image Burner.
Boot CD, rightclick on E, select Resize/Move, grab and slide E to the right into the free space, click OK.
Next click on D, select Resize, grab and drag right border to the right to take up the space where E was, click OK, then Apply. Partition Wizard Move/Resize Partition Video Help. | My System Specs | | |

I am not sure the new extended partition feature is available using the bootable CD, but it provides a simpler way to extend a partition, especially if the partitions are not adjacent;
Just a heads on the improvement. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel i5 quad processor Motherboard DP67BG Memory 16 GB Graphics Card Radeon HD 5770 Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard MS Wireless Mouse MS Optical Wired PSU Corsair GS800 Case Tower (Generic) Cooling 3 Internal Fans Hard Drives WD 2TB (SATA Internal)

Nice find, George. Am still at 7.5 so will upgrade later today to check it out.
I'd like to see how that works on non-adjacent partitions, and if it's on the boot disk which is to date fail safe.
I've always just slid partitions which are in the way over one way or the other. It's fun. | My System Specs | | |

I haven't used it, yet, so let me know how it goes. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel i5 quad processor Motherboard DP67BG Memory 16 GB Graphics Card Radeon HD 5770 Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard MS Wireless Mouse MS Optical Wired PSU Corsair GS800 Case Tower (Generic) Cooling 3 Internal Fans Hard Drives WD 2TB (SATA Internal)
