Okay.. All you have to do is open up fdisk (in DOS or Linux -- dos maybe
for you?) and delete your D: partition. Then install Linux, and create a
new partition from there type 83 (Linux Native -- is that number right?).
Also consider making a 16MB swap partiton.

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
 the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
 penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
 careful about what they say if they had.
