The safest way is to put the extra disk in an external USB enclosure. Plug it into the USB and the system should recognize the partitions on it. You can then do all the copying you want. To be safe, make sure you determine which partition has XP on it and don't copy anything to it.

Assuming both drives on Windows installed...
Attach the second hard drive to your system on an IDE cable. Boot, and the partitions on the drive will be temporarily assigned to I through whatever.... by Windows
Drag and drop files between the two drives.
Shut down, remove the drive, and return it to the original machine. Windows will reassign the original letters to the partitions.
If your intend is to copy Windows itself from one drive to the other, you can't. Windows will not allow itself to be copied like that.

I suggest using Norton GHOST.
This will accomplish what you are looking to do.
