Does anyone know how it is possible for me to install apache on my C:
and then have my D: as the server root? So that when you go to
127.0.0.1 you're looking at the D: instead of C:/......./htdocs.
Is that possible?

Yes. You set the location of DocumentRoot and the location of the
default Directory (which should be the same, but you have to set it
both places) in the httpd.conf file.

Consider using the VirtualHost directive, which will let you set up
several independent hosts -- it is nice for debugging or for
developing multiple different sites.

There are some good discussions and examples on setting up
VirtualHosts under Windows in my forums at
