From other posts I can see that the back up will not work with a cd. Is
backing it up to another drive (d) the only way to back up my files
besides
buying an external hard drive. How do I back up to the d drive. And if I
have a system crash, wouldn't that drive also crash?

Ntbackup can create a file on a disk, and that is what you do. Be aware
that you must create a floppy disk, and you must restore the system with a
distribution CD and a floppy drive for the above mentioned disk.

If you have a system crash, the other drives still keep working.
