trouble Reformatting XP Partition on an Vista/XP Dual-boot


Hi everyone, kind of new here so sorry if there's anything wrong with my post.

So my problem is I have my Vista installed on my Drive C: partition and my XP on my D:, dual-boot is fine. Thing is, I've been wanting to reformat just my D: an reinstall XP on it but I have a few problems that I hope someone can point me to somewhere where I can find the answers to:

1. My cd/dvd drive has been broken for a while now, is there a way I can reinstall an OS without having to use it? I have an external cd/dvd drive, don't know if that can help.

2. If I do manage to reformat and reinstall my XP, will my dual-boot not work anymore? Will I have to redo everything? I'm kind of afraid of losing my Vista.

Thanks in advance for those who will help.
