  Sure. If you don't need the stuff on D:, just erase it. No need to
re-format.
  Depending on the Linux distribution, you will need to delete any existing
  partition on the second disk drive (fdisk /dev/hdb)
  Then make two new partitions : Linux root (where most stuff
  goes) and Linux swap - 64 megs is a good size for this one. The rest of the
  space can be for root - the more the merrier, try for 500 - 600 megs if
possible.

  hda is the C: , hdb is the D:  hdc = CD on normal pc's  fd0 is the floppy
  The install program will take care of re-formatting the space.

   You can dual boot by installing LILO on the C: drive.
   You should back up any important info before starting this, and read the
prompts
    very carefully. Slackware comes with a little booklet that gives
step-by-step
    instructions.
