Have you considered setting your main site to a multisite setup?
This would allow you to use the same wordpress files from the root and serve a wordpress site under the /seperatesite/ directory without the need for duplicating files.
take a look at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
If you need any specific help regarding setting this up then feel free to make a new question.
