first is 156gb
second is 256

first is almost full
second is empty (from what it says)
all i wanna know is if i can use the second one for own usage or if it's my OS one like on most of desktops

You can use it, but before you put things in it, I suggest you format it and expend your c, as it is the same disk, seperated in two. It's a disk for data, but your own data

anything related to os is in the c drive.

It doesn't matter, the letters are arbitrary; you can change them at will. If you want, you can repartition them to suit your tastes.
You can use either for anything, as long as you don't modify any system files.

Pretty much this.

Ok, I'm not a PC expert... But if I remember correctly

C: = ur OS,Drivers, programs

D: = data storage (Music,Pics,Video's, etc)

If you don't know

Do not do anything to your D drive unless you know what you are doing, because your D drive has important system data and your machine's re install information in case you need to reset your machine to its factory conditions. Your C drive is where most of your installed programs will be located that you regularly use. Small, but very important files that are required for your machine to run will be located in your D drive if it is a system partition created by the manufacturer. Here is a similar question that might grant you a different opinion:

Good luck kind Salgadow person of D2JSP.

What you are talking about.

It only confuses people.

The empty D: drive with space on it means one of 2 things.
You have 2 partitions on 1 HDD

You actually have 2 HDD's in your computer.

If it is separate partitions you could merge them but I believe this requires a formatting.

If you want to know if anything is hidden on the D: drive type 'show hidden files' into your search bar and click the first result, there is an orb you click to show hidden files and folders, apply.
