  Your BIOS/CMOS setup (usually you can get to this by pressing some
specific key(s) at a specific point in the boot process) *may* allow
you to specify drive D as the boot device.  Many modern ones do.

  If yours doesn't, you may still be able to get this effect by
installing a "boot manager" on drive C which can give you a menu of
partitions to boot from.  Some of these -- for instance, the one that
NT and 2000 install -- can offer partitions on other drives as
choices.
