Hi,
Quite a tricky thing. The "real" way is to uninstall those programs and reinstalling it; but while reinstalling it, you need to tell the instalbber to install it to D drive during setup. You can't just copy program files and other things from one drive to another, as the operating system looks not only for the files on the source drive, but it also checks shortcuts and registry to make sure the files are at the proper location. For installing Windows 7 and other things, you can just do it through upgrade option, which will retain JAWS and other programs on your computer (and it was shown that installing Windows 7 is possible by blind people without sighted assistance, as you can use speech during installation).
Cheers,
Joseph
