My (C) drive is full but there's nothing on (D)

That is because your "D" drive is where you put disks... So if you were to insert a music CD or something into your computer that would fill the D drive

I am assuming that your D: is a partioned area of your C: rather than your DVD/CD drive. Normal practice for ready built machines pre 2000ish was to set up the D: as the DVD/CD drive but now it is becoming more frequent for it to be a partition of your C:. and the DVD drive to be J: Then you can use it as that, but if your C: is becoming full you should buy more harddisk, manage your files better or back up items elsewhere or all of the above. (it doesn't actually matter what letter the driver/network connection is).
If you are actually talking about your CD drive as others have suggested it does make an excellent coffee cup holder (disclaimer if you set fire to your house or break the thing don't sue me).

It depends on how your computer is configured.
In most cases, the D drive is your CD-ROM drive.
When you have a disc in, go to Desktop > My Computer and see what the drive icon looks like. If it looks like a CD/DVD it's your CD drive, otherwise it's probably a hard drive.
If you're running Windows, a great site for computer novices is Microsoft At Home.

The D drive is sometimes a secondary drive in order to store different files there.. Otherwise it is probably a CD Rom?

If your comuter has two harddrives C:/ is the main drive while D:/ is the secondary. But if your computer has one drive which is like most computers C:/is still the main drive and D:/ is the CD drive.

The D drive on my computer is for playing DVDs

I had to buy a new computer because my nephew accidently removed my D drive..so i take it if you don't have a D drive you won't be able to get onto your computer as it won't recognise the reboot disc..

If u have a partition on ur hard drive, u can move some files to D: to clear some space on C:.

could be ur cdromm? or ur dvdrom. When u partitioned it, u coulda made a D: drive while putting like no space on it. U must clarify ur question a little more. Does ur D: have space? If it does, it is just another section of ur hardisk, and can be used to store memory. If not...u have a problem.

Usually the D drive refers to your CD-ROM or burner
