This depends on what the other OS that you have installed is, what is
installed on what drive, and etc.

The simplest way is to boot with a Win Me boot disk and at the A: prompt,
type SYS C: Then you can do whatever you wish with the D: drive. You can
also delete BOOT.INI, NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, PAGEFILE.SYS and HIBERFIL.SYS
from the root directory of the C: drive.
