I assume you meant if a person had two ~DVD~ drives in their PC.... if a PC has two CD drives, it couldn't read a DVD even if it wanted, because of the specification differences between DVDs and CDs.
OK, barring that nitpickiness. Could a person copy a DVD from one drive to another? The answer is yes, but not in the order that you gave. This kinda ties nicely into the . The basic premise: rip the DVD in its entirety as an ISO image, and burn the image onto a fresh DVD (assuming that the destination DVD drive can support the size of the image). DVD Decrypter can obviously do the job. ImgBurn (a similar project to DVD Decrypter, but doesn't circumvent CSS on DVDs, and thus isn't illegal) can also do the job, if you didn't need to do deCSS (ie, if the DVD was one you burned yourself, and you're making a copy for a friend).
