I'm not entirely certain about this as I haven't set up a dual boot machine for some time. It shouldn't cause you any problems to install in the D partition although XP will then rename any partitions or drives you have above D, because with linux installed as you want your D partition will disappear as far as windows is concerned so if you have a partition above D, your E will become D. If you haven't got an E partition it shouldn't cause any trouble at all.
Reply:Drive letters are a way that Windows connects to a partition. Unix and Linux systems do not need or use drive letters. They instead use mount points. The mount points usually are labeled as something like hda1 or hda2. Partition number 1 on your first hard drive would be hda1. Partition number one on your second hard drive would be hdb1. As a user though, you would never need to know this, because all data is mounted into a single tree structure.


Remember Redhat is not just a program, it's an operating system.


I highly recommend going to www.tldp.org and reading an introductory Linux tutorial.
