Yes. You can format D: and install Linux there, instead of on C:. You might have to reinstall any applications that were installed to D:. Obviously, you should copy all files off d: before you fdisk and format it. Depending on your BIOS, you might need more than one partition on C: to boot off it using LILO, although you could put LOADLIN on D: to get around that. > P.S. I haven't got enough money to buy a Zip to back my stuff up..... Get one. Or something.
