The only way you can install an operating system without a BootableUSB drive or disc like Ubuntu, is to install and run a virtual machine program. VMware has a good free one just for this. It will run on top of your primary operating system. To elaborate, its like havinganother computer run inside your computer.
There is no special connection or setup needed. You simply set the drive you want to use for the operating system to boot first in the BIOS, then install the operating system to the appropriate drive. During the install process, you may also want to format the other drive.

Format the drive and install a new operating system in its place.
if it is an external SATA drive then yes, otherwise it is not suggested and rarely works.
There is no reason you cannot load an operating system on a flash drive. However, getting the computer to recognize the flash drive and boot from it could be an issue.
Most new installations of an operating system require a 'clean install' - meaning that, as part of the installation process - the hard drive is re-formatted. You should alwaysback-up impportant files and programs before attempting an operating system install in case your drive is wiped.
Use a special USB Drive with the OS intsall package
yes
Did you install Windows XP to the hard drive? New hard drives do not come with an operating system; to boot from it, you have to install one on it.
The operating system, basically, allows a user to actually use the computer. Without an operating system, it would be like trying to drive a car that did not have an engine!
