you can't have two operating systems running a once and when you have one running the other partition on which you have an operating system installed is automatically hidden by your system therefore you shouldn't be able to see both c and d if both have windows xp installed on it. Therefore I think you probably don't have windows xp installed on both partitions. It will be on the c drive and the d drive will only be a logical drive which means that it is a data drive only ie no opearting system installed (which would be called a primary drive).

Begin installing any piece of software. When it asks where to put it, it will default to "Program Files" folder on the hard disk where the active Windows is installed.
Right click on My Computer, choose Manage. Open Storage/Disk Management. One drive will be called "System".
