copy all of xp, etc to a linux directory?

I have 2 hard drives and the XP drive is getting flakey, altho it booted today. Is there any way to copy the _complete_ xp drive, registry, files, and all to the Linux drive, and then, having replaced the flakey drive, copy all of that back, and have a bootable, usable xp system? If so, please give me detailed directions. I'm an RF guy, not a computer maven. BTW, the flakey drive contains the dual-boot system, and I could not get into that last night. Can I get into the Linux drive directly somehow, from a floppy or a CD or something? TIA!--doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
