You understand you're taking a performance hit by using the slower drive for OS and Apps?

But anyways...Your old drive will be the Master on the primary IDE and the new drive will be the Master on the secondary IDE. Make any CD/DVD drive slaves. Master/Slave configs are done by jumpers on the drive. You can find the setting either on the drive itself, or at the company's website.
