You might find some helpful info in the readme file for partition magic. I just looked at my version (6.0) and learned a couple of items that might be relevant. However, since you are using 7.0 they might now be relevant anymore.
As a side note, I see you could not change the bios to boot from drive d but you didn't exactly indicate why you couldn't. Curious if you can use partition magic 7.0 (or 4.0 since dos based) to merge drive c and d together as a fat 32 partition and make d the primary partition. My version seems to indicate a potential problem with changing the drive letter for win 2 K so I would be careful making c the primary for right now.

Belker,
When you boot from a rescue disk a ram drive is created,
so your CD drive moves up a letter. In dos try running
the W2K install from E:
Also Matt only mentioned boot.ini. W2K also needs ntldr
and ntdetect.com to boot. You could get copies of all 3
of these files then copy them to your C: drive then boot
to your D: drive then install W2K to your C: drive.
