You need to either a) delete d: and create a new smaller d: and a fresh
partition(s) for linux or b) shrink d:, to leave free space in which to
create the new partition(s).

You must have a backup for a) (because it's actually backup, delete,
create new partition, restore to new partition) and you should have one
for b). 

Partitions can be shrunk with Partition Magic (costs money, but a good
program), fips (free, comes with most linux distributions, seems pretty
reliable, but you must use version 1.5c or 2.x for FAT32) and doubtless
other progs.
