You need to use a program such as Drive Image, Drive Copy, Ghost or any
other similar program. Search in Google for places to purchase these
programs.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could please provide with an
answer to this question:

My hard drive's defective and I was wondering if I hooked up second
hard drive to computer, would it be possible to copy windows xp to a
second hard drive (which I'll be getting this week).

That depends on what you mean by "defective." If it's failing,
no, highly unlikely. If it's giving signs of failing in the
future (unusual sounds,etc.), but hasn't yet failed, then yes.

If so, how do I
do this?

Use a product like Ghost or Drive Image.

If it's not possible, no big deal- I'll just have to install Win XP again
on the new hard drive (just be nice to avoid that hassle.)

Thank you-

Some hard drive manufacturers have Drive Copy apps available at their sites.
For example Maxtor has a Drive Copy utility available with it's Maxblast 3
app
 
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and the comments. I found 'em very helpful
and I appreciate them. Thank you-

Some hard-drives come with their own imaging software as well as other
tools. You simply set the new HDD as "slave" and transfer the system.
