To add a new hard disk: 1) Buy a disk of a type that your diskcontroller supports 2) Shut off your computer 3) Open the computer housing and locate the cables needed to connect you hard disk (there may be two, one for power and one for data if it isn't a SATA2 disk which only needs one connector) 4) Mount the new hard disk in your computer with appropriate fasteners (screws...) 5) Connect the cable(s) required 6) Put your compter together again 7) Turn on your computer 8) Depending on your operating system and the hard disk newly installed you may not have to do anything or you may have to partition and name it befor you can use the new disk

If a hardrive has a login password will formatting erase hardrive?

Some laptops provide a utility to lock a hard disk with a password. These passwords are not the same as BIOS passwords. Moving a locked hard disk to another machine will not unlock it, since the hard disk password is stored in the hard disk firmware and moves with the hard disk. Also, adding a new (unlocked) hard disk to a locked machine may cause the new hard disk to become locked. Also, note that hard disk lock passwords cannot be removed by reformatting the disk, fdisk or any other software procedure (since the disk will not allow any reads or writes to the disk, it cannot be reformatted.)You can test to determine if your hard disk is locked by attempting to access it in another laptop.
