Langsley, you actually do not need to transfer anything. 
You can make this D-drive of yours accessible to linux in 
read-write-mode by editing (as root) your "/etc/fstab".

In that file, there's a stanza for your hda5. Edit it to 
contain the option "umask=0" like this :

....iso8859-15,codepage=850,rw,nosuid,umask=0,nodev 0 0...

Save the file and you can use this D-drive from within 
linux. Cool,... eh ?
