1st: your topic is misleading. you don't want to copy windows but xampp
2nd: this is the german part of the xampp support board. The english part is a forums below beginning with "XAMPP IN ENGLISH". So i should answer in german here.

What you have to do is:
- shut down your xampp applications (and xampp windows services if used)
- mark the whole xampp folder
- copy it to the new harddisk/usb stick
- execute the setup_xampp.bat file for relocation and to make the installation without drive letters
- try to start Apache and MySQL from your new path.

Remember that you can't use Windows services with portable Drives.
