[AccessD] Boot off of D: drive

I installed Windows XP onto my server, then discovered I needed a true RAID
controller.  Once that was installed I had this truly reliable (we hope)
raid system.  Now I discovered (thanks to certain listmembers who shall
remain unnamed) that I really needed to move to Windows Server 2003.  Having
this high powered raid system, I decided to install (dual boot) Windows 2003
to the D: drive.  In and of itself this is not a big issue but it does leave
a single (and small - 80gb) non-raid drive sitting at C:, with a full
install (unused) of Windows XP Pro.
 
Is it possible to:
 
1) Get rid of the dual boot so that the system automatically boots into
Server 2003.
2) Get rid of the C: drive and slide a raid drive into it's place.
3) and REALLY reaching here, migrate all the software stored on my D: drive
onto that C: drive.
4) Have it all work when that is done.  ;-)
 
I would be thrilled with 1 and 2, but figured I might as well ask about 3 as
well.
