    Nothing, will happen, you will could access the files easyli and boot from it aswell (If you have an OS installed on it.)

    If they are installed from the OS on harddrive C: then no, but if drive D: is a seperate OS, yes

    I believe if the programs reside on the D drive you can run them from there, I think.
    I just use my separate drive for files, not apps

    Edit: i just installed a small app on my extra partition and i was able to run it from my C drive

    Okay, then you can't access them (NOT 100% Sure might be some way to do.). You'll have to install them again
