So you moved your iTune's music to another drive, is that correct? I'm guessing iTunes is referencing the old (now empty) location for your music, yes? If so...
1.) Open iTunes.
2.) Go to Preferences.
3.) Go to Advanced.
4.) Go to 'iTunes music folder location' and change it to the 'd' drive (location where you moved your music to).
The above is based off my Mac settings but I'm sure the PC version isn't terribly different (you can sort of get the idea behind the instruction).
Hopefully that will fix your problem / answer your question.
For future reference, the EASIEST way to move your music library in iTunes is to do this:
1) Back up your iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files, just in case
2) Set your iTunes Music directory to be the folder you want to put your music in (on the new drive, other partition, whatever)
3) Make sure "keep folder organized" and "copy music to folder" are checked
4) Choose Advanced > Consolidate Library
5) Make a sandwich, read a book, do some yoga
6) Yay, your music has been moved, and you've lost no metadata!

Perhaps we need to cut this guy some slack, but then again the first place I would try would be apple's support site.
We might also want to club together this Christmas and buy them a dictionary and book on correct grammar.
