New Boot install - cann drive be allocated?

I am looking to install reinstall XP on my PC, but the C partition where it is currently not large enough. Can I merge the C partition with another and call it C?

I am also installing a new hard drive. Could I use part of it as a new C drive?

I have W2K on the d-drive partition and would like to keep the ability to boot into that. If use a partition on a new drive as the new C-drive will that will push the D with W2k elsewhere and will that not confuse the boot? I suppose essentially I want to know if I can say look the boot is on this drive.
