Did you try to resize C to include the unallocated space ?
If you created a new logical partition out of that unallocated space you
need to delete that 20 gb partition and move the free space into C by
resizing C.
If that doesn't work and you can get the space moved into D then do it.
Then resize D and move that space to C.
If it's unallocated space, it's not a partition of any kind. You need to
work on one of your existing partitions and resize one of them to include
that space.
Like I said earlier, the restore may have screwed things up to the point
where you just have to wipe everything and try to restore it again.

I don't understand how to use it to move that free space to C. I
installed it, I see the "Unallocated space" between C and D, but when I
right click it "Resize/Move" is grayed out. So I had to, "Create" I
think, I forget now, in order for "Resize/Move" to be clickable. I
clicked "Resize/Move" and I don't see any way of moving/adding it to C!
The only thing there is for resizing. It doesn't appear to be
formatted, so when I right click and "Format", nothing happens!
Under "Type", C and D are both "Primary" but this other space is listed
as "Logical". When I click "Delete", it says a deleted partition cannot
be restored (and I thought this program COULD restore them). If I
delete it, will that space go to C, or go to D like it did with XP's
"Disk Management"?

I've used that easeus repartitioning program and it worked well for me.
Resized my partitions without losing any information on those
partitions.
