I have an 80GB Hard drive, divided into C with 2GB and D with 40GB, while

WinME is installed on C and all the other things on D.
My future intentions are to install WinXP on D and have dual boot with the
help of PM8's Boot Magic.
Is that workable?

If you are installing Boot Magic then that is all you have to be
concerned with. Boot Magic will do the job for you quickly and
reliably.

Just follow the instructions for installing and configuring Boot
Magic. You do not need to make any other changes, especially not to
the BOOT.INI file for Windows XP.

One thing I particularly like about Boot Magic is that it can be
configures so that the non-booting operating system partitions are
always hidden. That way you get a consistent drive letter for the
operating system partition (e.g. always drive C regardless of which
O/S you choose to boot from. It also prevents cross-contamination by
accidently copying files to or deleting them from the \Windows folder
in the wrong partition.

Good luck
