jumper? the ide cable?

ive got a hard drive with windows xp already....  im just running out of room. (so im buying an extra drive)

so what would i have to do for that. plug and play (yn) lol

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

ok:) i take it you mean set it to slave in the bios? :S 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.
