How would I copy an entire database to another (using a different

databases, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
DTS (Enterprise Manager, highlight database, right click, all tasks,
export) Create a new one when prompted on target, use same server.
When you get to a page in the wizard with 3 radio buttons, choose the
bottom one, copy SQL Server objects.
or Again, in the same place, right click, all tasks, backup, backup to
a file. Now in the same place again, choose Restore from the all tasks
menu, the default is to show backups of the currently highlighted
database, which is what you want, at the top of this dialog, type in a
different name for "restore as database...".
