Yes it can be done.
What are you trying to accomplish? Transfer the system to a new drive? Move just your data files? etc. etc.
For those who are not techie enough to pull the drive:

I'm perfectly fine pulling my drives. Hell, I built the computer. I've just never tried this before, nor seen it done.
I just need to transfer data, not the whole system. Is it as easy as setting the jumper to slave, putting it on the chain, setting it up in BIOS, and then going into My Computer and moving them?

Yes that is really all there is to it, but I would first install Windows on your new drive without the old hard drive installed at all. (so that no mbr or boot files accidentally end up on your old drive)
Also some drives have settings for master - no slave present.. so you may need to put the jumpers back exactly as they are now after you are done transferring files (unless you want to keep the old drive in the system.)
