If C and D are on the same physical drive, you can the space as you wish.
If pre-Vista, best choices are Symantec's Partition Magic, often free after
rebates, usually as part of a package of othe Symantec programs; or Acronis
disk Director.

If for Vista, PM does not work, so i'd get Acronis disk Director.

The 10GB of space most likely contains the recovery data for your laptop.
If you needed to reload your system for whatever reason, the means to do so
is on that partition. You may also have the option to create recovery DVDs
for your system. If you are able to, you should do so whether or not you'll
leave the recovery partition as it is. If you have the disks, you can then
delete that partition and merge it with the C Drive using a third party
software application such as Acronis Disk Director.

Perhaps you should consider a portable drive to off load data onto.

Ok my laptop came pre installed with windows vista, two partitions 120Gb each
I used windows disk management [right click my computer, and click manage]
Then what i did was delete , in your case, the 10GB volume, right click on
the 70Gb volume and click extend volume.
Hope this works for you, however you need to have windows vista, as xp
doesnt have this feauture built in. If you are using xp i used to use
partition magic to do the job, but dont buy it for vista as it is
incompatible.

And as many other replies have said - it is highly probable that this 10 GB
partition is the RECOVERY partition. So without the OP telling us, any
advice to delete it is pretty premature and MAY result in the OP not being
able to recover the machine to factory specs at all. Please don't tell
people to delete small partitions like that without first ascertaining that
they are NOT recovery partitions.

If this is on one single drive, then yes you can as the other poster
said, but you will be giving up any chance you ever have to restore
your pc should it ever crash! Think cd's or dvd's instead and transfer
your uneeded stuff off and onto them! If you absolutely have to have
that much stuff on your pc, then think external storage. A nice USB
drive will work fine, as long as you don't go banging it around!

The proper way to backup/restore a system is with an image backup program.
That way your habds are not tied by restore points or recovery disks.
