They are easy enough to install .. look on the back and there should be some pin s and two will have a plastic sleeve on (A JUMPER) read the instructions that came with it or it might indicate it on the back of the hard drive where it says to put the jumper on the pins for master and slave... wack it on slave because you want it as a slave to your exsisting master hard drive ...connect it to a power connecter from your mother board and also plug an IDE or SATA cable into it from your motherboard.
Load up windows using your existing install of windows and the new hard drive will need to be formatted / partitioned before you can start using it I think Windows has a program or option where u can do that or u might need some software to do it.
