Drives can be partitioned in many different ways, and Sony
have set up a specific layout on their system.
You should call them for info.

Hi,

Are you meaning that the C drive is 15GB and D Drive 50GB?
If yes, let it be. It is better to save data files on D
drive. It is more easy for file management especially if
you get system problems on the C Drive. Also, it take
less time for disk cleanup and defrag on a smaller drive.

It's better organisation of your drive space. The operating system
and applications go on the c drive, and your data (databases, large
multimedia, etc) goes on the d drive. With reserved drive space for
the OS, adding lots of data files (filling up the d drive) won't
affect OS efficiency as much as if you mixed OS, applications, and
data on the same drive. You'll be able to defrag both partitions
easier too.

Small drive... :)

Let's assume you mean GB here. - Chances are Sony
partitioned the drive into 2 like that.

Using disk manager, you can delete the D: drive/partition
(assuming there is nothing you need on it) and streathc
out the C: partition
