it sounds like you want to do a system recovery. If so, when computer boots, you have to hit one of the f-keys. Not sure which cuz its different on most computers. Usually a high f like f8-f12. U need to push this key repeatedly as soon as computer starts until you end up is system recovery.

NO! can't boot from C then switch operating system by going to D drive. If you want to transfer OC from C to D then just image entire C drive and put on D drive using ghost software

Once you've booted from your C drive, the operating system will continue to run from C, but you can run all of your applications on the D drive if you want to.

Boot from CD, if your copy of Windows XP is not boot-able, then copy Win XP CD to HD then burn it in say Nero and choose that you want create a bootabile CD. Insert a blank CD and you will have boot-able copy of Win XP.

NO, your HD would have to be partitioned to have a D drive that's bootable and them it would boot either from c or d but it won't start on 1 and switch to another
