here is what you will need to complete this project:
Installing Your Harddrive Step1
Open up your case after backing up any important files and locating and installing any software that came with the hard drive. Check to make sure that your computer supports SATA or that you have a SATA PCI card installed.
Step2Look for the smaller connector on the SATA cable and connect it to the SATA connector located on the motherboard or controller card. If you already have another SATA drive, simply follow its cable to the motherboard or card to see where this one will attach.
Step3Grab the larger end of the SATA cable and connect it to the back of the SATA drive itself. You will also need to attach the legacy 4-pin connector or SATA power cable to power your drive. At this point, check to see that both the smaller and larger end of the SATA cable and the power cable are securely connected and proceed.
Step4Choose an available drive bay and insert the hard drive into it, mounting it in place with the four screws provided. Make sure to follow the directions that came with your drive and place the screws in the designated holes to secure proper grounding.
Step5Ensure that all cables are properly attached and replace the tower or desktop case cover. After doing this, you're all set to reconnect the power cord and turn on your computer.
Formatting and Partitioning
Step1Boot from your Windows CD. If this is the only hard drive present, you'll be shown a series of instructions and should simply follow along.
Step2Select "Control Panel" then "Performance and Maintenance" and finally "Administrative Tools" for an additional hard drive. Then click the "Computer Management option and choose "Disk Management." Simply right-click the drive to partition and format it.
Step3Follow the steps displayed. Windows will guide you through the rest of the process.
Now for your dvd drive----
1.Shut down the system, unplug the power cord and remove the side panel or panels from the case.
Ensure that the new DVD-ROM drive is set to be "Slave" or "Master," depending on if it is a replacement or an additional drive. 3
2.Locate the empty drive bay for the new DVD-ROM drive, and remove the drive bay covering. 4
Insert the new DVD-ROM drive into the empty bay and secure with screws or other attaching device provided by the manufacturer. 5
3.Connect the open connector on the ribbon cable (red stripe towards power cable) to the new DVD-ROM drive and connect the power supply cable (plastic four connector plug from power supply)to the drive. 6
Replace the side panel or panels, plug in the power cord and turn the system on.
Install your dvd software bundle and get to work.
These are actually two things you will want to do at once while the computer is open , but i would do them one at a time in case you have problems you will know what to blame. You can leave the cover off while operating the computer so that you can test it after the hard drive instrall and before the dvd install.
