Booting to D

OS = Windows XP Home SP2
I have 2 hds - C and D
In setup:
D = Drive 0 - SATA 0
C = Drive 1 - SATA 1
Control Panel - System - Device Manager shows the same thing
If I right click on a icon on the quick launch bar it shoes D as the
location of the program. All seems to be working fine, but I am not sure
booting to D is OK. I want to add a 3rd HD and put Windows Vista Beta 2 on
it and use VistaBootPro to choose between systems. I thought it might be a
good idea to get the C/D thing corrected before I add more drives.
I believe the problem started when I booted the machine with the cable to C
disconnected, not on purpose. I have tried switching the cables at the
motherboard and can boot to the welcome screen but it doesn't say "windows
is starting" and goes no further.
Any ideas appreciated.
I have already yelled at myself and taken away my eating veggies privileges
for a month<G>
