No, "D:" is simply a second drive, unless the drive letters have been edited. It can be optical, or HDD, since before Windows 95.
It can now also be an SSD, USB stick, SD card or whatever.
I started to edit the CD and later DVD drives to L:, R: or W: at install time since about 1993 or maybe 1996 because if a second HDD was added, or a the main drive had an extra partition added, Windows would change the optical drive to E: and some games, encyclopedias etc would "break".
