It is just another area on the hard drive for you to store data. There is no difference between the C and D hard drive. Although many computer manufacturers split a hard drive in 3 parts. 1 is a hidden partition that basically stores the factory system restore program, the second is the C drive, and the thrid is the D drive which can be used as a backup for the system.
You may use disk management (vista only) or a thrid-party partition editor (recommed for xp or lower) to resize your partitions if you want to get rid of the D drive to increase space on the C drive.

Therefore, D: can be another hard drive, another partition on the same drive as C:, a CD/DVD drive, some other removable device (such as an SD card or USB Flash drive) or a network share.
