There are more issues than just moving the boot loader. Once the W2K drive is removed, D will become C, and XP is installed with D:\Windows as its root.

Do you have to boot with the W2K drive still in place, and change the drive letters in XP (system disk tools) so that D is C and C becomes D. Then shutdown and move the data cable to sata0 on the motherboard.
