Author Disk space getting low

I have 3 disk volumes on my server. C, D, E. C=System, D=Logs, E= Data

How do I get the 2 databases to use drive D in addition to drive E for data?
I have 50 gig volume for E and I have about 9 gig free as of now. D has
only consumed 1 gig and free is 34 gig.

TIA

Pre-allocate storage for the database files as desired. If you need to shrink one of the file (so
that data will be pushed to the other file), you can do it using DBCC SHRINKFILE. It will take a
while for a lot of data, though.
