There is no such possible task you can perform. The only way you can do it b
is by windows PE or windows live Cd

You can first uninstall Windows Service Pack 2 on C: and install Service Pack 3 from D: and mention path to C: while installation. The uninstalled copy Service Pack 2 can be moved to D:
