I do that all the time. When Tiger boots up, it will list the second
hard drive on the desktop. You can either double-click on the drive
there, or access it through the finder. As long as any drive is
formatted so the OS can use it, you can have as many drives on your
system as you want (if you want to use internal and external drives).

No problem.

It just depends on how much room you have on your drive
os x tiger is a big package

Sure,
Erase slave/second drive first and depending how much information you are
copying - it will work.
