*SOLVED*

Result, cfdisk is not my friend.
Partitioned the D: drive in windows and used fdisk during install.

Thank you everyone for helping me figure this out

When I saw the drive visible with lsblk, it dawned on me to just try and force the issue with fdisk.

Now LILO is my only issue, but am able to logon to slackware with the install media. USB stick. And Ill probably just leave it like it is, and only log into widows if I have to.

Thanks again, everyone.
