You would also probably find the BCD store on the D: drive, usually in BootBCD. If you look in Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc), you should see that the partition with XP is marked as 'Active' and 'System'. There is a file there that you can see, though it is a hidden system file. The output of bcdedit, above, shows that the boot manager being used is at 'D:bootmgr'. It's not just possible, it is certain that there is a boot manager on the 'D' partition.
