If you want the cleanest install, I would backup my files first to a CD or external hard drive then formate the whole hard drive and install Vista back in. The D: drive is a recovery partition that would reload Windows back into C. You would basically be at the same condition you were before with all the preloaded crap. If you have the vista reinstall disc, I would go that route and install a fresh OS on one partition to make things easier.
