You just have to set it to slave like Sam said but when you buy it the  manual should reveal all.

ok i take it you mean set it to slave in the bios? im a complete newb with hard drives...

and ram, do i need to access bios for upgrading it? because my computer has a password on the bios and i dont know it

No not slave in the bios


^ The little piece on the pins is the jumper....depending on where you put it tells what it is....(what you are trying to get is Slave)

Below is a EXAMPLE...It does not mean these are the ways to set the jumper on your harddrive. This is just a example for a Maxtor harddrive I have.
