Dual Boot XP? Mom vs. kids

I have 2 hardrives - one is XP (c:\), the other is 2000
(d:\) - set to dual boot. Over a year ago something
corrupted in my 2000 OS so can only boot into XP but I
can still get at my files on d:\ What I would like to do
is ..
C:\ = me
D:\ = kids
I would like to set up dual boot or security so that my
kids log ONLY into D:\ - personalize, install,
music/media, cheats, saved games, patches, surf, save
stuff AND me to track their usage and restrict the amount
of time on the pc. I do not want d:\ to even know c:\ is
around. (my pc is so messed up with ad trackers -
scumware - trojans, etc.). I don't want my registry
touched by anything they do. I use a cable modem. I
have Zone Alarm, (currently switching to DSL), various
apps i.e. adware, pop-up blockers, virus apps. Scumware
business is changing and increasing so fast and my kids
don't understand scumware. When something pops up and
says 'SECURITY WARNING' - by instinct they will
say "OK". I want them to be informed but at the same
time to just play and have fun and not mess up my
stuff/pc in general. Because the system is so messed up,
I have everything basically backed up and want to wipe
out both drives. Do I make a dual boot (formatting c:\
with NTFS and d:\FAT?). Set up NTSF first?

Could someone please tell me how this would work or how
to set up or if there is a better way all together?

Thanks for any guidance/suggestions!! ... Ocean
