So, I installed Win7 to the 180GB partition at the end of the drive, not the 800GB one before it. I now have just over 2GB left on C. I can't extend it because the D partition is behind it. I suppose I could reinstall, but that's a lot of crap to re-download. :(

So...can this be fixed?

Yes, there are programs that allow you to rearrange partitions on a hard drive. Acronis True Image is the best one that I have found, however the home version starts at $50. I believe GParted, which is free, can also perform this function.
 
Well I don't have $50 for the other thing, but GParted can do it? Awesome. Will give that a shot.

GParted will most certainly let you resize the partition.

It's all I use for partition management.

I use a Ubuntu live disk. I downloaded the image free
and burnt it to a disc. Very handy.
