That's just it, I didn't know how to do that. The interface simply
"started working better" the next day, I don't understand why. I got it
working by dragging the C right vertical line across that empty
unallocated space and stopping at D. But the main reason why it
wouldn't do anything I asked of it yesterday was because of the rather
hidden "APPLY" button! It's not only tiny text, but it's blue on blue,
and down at the extreme left to look like part of the nav menu. Whole
process today took less than 5 seconds, pretty amazing program.
What I find interesting is the benchmarks on the C: partition are higher
now than they were when it was ~48gb, and only 15gb is being used.
Thanks Guys,

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.
