Agreed.
[1] Move anything on Windows' D: or E: drive to C:
[2] remove sda2
[3] create an extended partition in that slot, and put /, home and
swap in there.

Or, if you like having 2 drives in Windows - e.g. I keep the pagefile
on a dedicated partition to reduce fragmentation - then do steps 1 &
2, then as well as the Linux partitions in the extended partition, put
a new smaller Windows D drive as well.
