Here is a screen shot of the problem- http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/783/glitchqd.jpg
I cannot access the D Drive for some reason, after editing some partition.
What can I do?

Why and How did you edit a partition.
Perhaps we don't understand what you did.
Never do t"partition editing" hat in Vista unless you are an expert.
And seven some experts decline partition editing in Vista.

What I mean by "partition editing" is that I used a partition manager to transfer free space from the D Drive to the C Drive. However, the power went off, during the process.
Sorry for not being clear.

You can try and boot in safe mode. The drive may have had a "lock" on it during the copy process. Most third party partition manages do soume hard to the file system and if the power goes off it becomes unpredictable. I understand that all the third part programs out there have some warning about the need for caution.
The last resort is to bring start the partition manager again and see if it will correct the problem. Thea's my option. I would try first to boot in safe mode and see if I can take over the locked drive as the system administrator.
Which program?
Some have used the most popular ones and may know the remedy.

The program is EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition.

Make an image of your C: drive...burn it to DVD and start over.

Therein lies the problem. Of course your D drive would be inaccessible! Your computer doesn't know where the heck the D drive starts anymore!
Like Patio said, make an image of your C drive (or the entire hard drive if possible) and start over. You may have to wipe the entire hard drive and repartition it, so if you can image the entire drive, by all means do it.
