multiboot issues

have two hard drives. When I setup XP, I mistakenly created a multi-boot
system. One drive C: containing ME the other D: XP. However, XP loaded it's
operating files onto the C: drive and then loaded everything else into the
D:\windows directory it created. All worked fine for about a month. The C:
drive was not reading correctly for some reason and would hang after the
bio's routine finished and thus no operating system would load. I could
access only the D: drive in DOS via XP boot from CDROM. DOS would report the
C: drive having an enumeration error whenever I attempted to access data on
it using the dir command. I was able to repartition the C: drive and
reformat it. After error checking the disk I then installed XP onto it. I
chose to load XP onto the C: drive so the data on the D: drive would not be
lost while running XP's install on that drive. However, all the programs
that I installed on the D: drive using XP prior to the C: drive crashing
will not run. If I reinstalled XP is there anyway I can get it to recognize
the previous windows XP files that exist on the D: drive so XP loads itself
onto the D: drive. Or, inable to access the existing programs on the D:
drive I need to reinstall them.
