Yeah. You can repartition the `D' drive. (Presumably /dev/hda2 in unix
terms).
You can do this with the fdisk program that comes with linux. This will not
affect your `C' drive, as long as you don't touch `hda1' which is the first
partition. Lust be very carefull about what you are doing, and it is always
a good idea to back up your most important files before you do this.

They suggest a swap partition (For your virtual memory) twice as large as
your RAM, and you might want to break up the rest into two partitions(one
for the `/' root filesystem, and one for the`/usr' user filesystem), but
that is up to you.

Good luck.
