Reply:You should install partition manager or partition magic or something. You need an unformatted partition to load another OS onto. Then you can have a dual-boot and pick your OS.
Reply:Yes, you can safely install Linux on your D Drive !
Reply:u can have linux on d drive. no problems at all.
Reply:Yup, been there, done it. Once you get everything partitioned right it's ok. Often, the bootable Linux disks help you through that stuff and setting up the dual boot.


Debian Linux is an installation you can get purely online - you can download a disk image and install that or there are other ways. It is more stable but less cutting edge than some - but they have good FAQs and help at the website.
