You have to physically designate drive D: to be used.

You can facilitate this by downloading and installing TweakUI for
Windows XP from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
The "My Computer" tab of TweakUI allows you to change the default
location for items such as Program Files and My Documents.

Good luck
