Hi, you didn't specify if the drives are IDE or Sata. If both are IDE, you will have to set jumers master and slave. If the new drive is Sata, you don't have to worry about jumpers. After you get the drive installed, you will go to Disk Management and initialize, create partitions and format in NTFS. Then it will show up in My Computer. When you install programs, it will ask you for the path(drive,folder) for the installation. You will pick the new drive as the destination.......
