I think the active partition on the 2nd disk is your problem. XP takes notice of it, and will put it logically before partitions on the first disk.
So, if you can, deactivate it from XP. You may need to then assign the D: letter to the right partition after you do this. Hopefully XP would do the right thing though. Only then replace the second disk. (Are you sure you do not have any fat/ntfs/windows partitions on the 2nd disk?)
