Okay, what I recommend you do is move the interesting stuff from d: over
to c:, so that you now have a d: that you can now wipe without losing
stuff that you need.

Then, go into fdisk and remove your secondary partition (D:). Then create
it when you load up Linux.

 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.
