Keep the C: drive for use by the operating sysatem only.

Install all of your 40 programs to the 27GB D:drive.

You can resize your partitions if they do not suit you, but 1GB is enough for the OS.

This sort of configuration is what I would use myself with the exception that I would partition many logical drives and not just 3.

I have 8.4 GB partitioned into 6 logical drives with a 1.4GB OS drive. + 2 GB secondary split in two for me and for her (his and hers). I have heaps of free space, it will depend on your use of the system as to how you deine your filing system.
