If you already have 2k pro installed, then set the jumper of the new hdd to slave, attach to the cd or dvd drive in the middle of the cable. at boot go into bios to make sure if bios sees the drive. continue into 2k pro. right click on my computer, select manage, under storage, select disk management, locate your new hdd, should say unformated, right click the drive and format as ntfs, wait for it to finish,enjoy new hdd....

If there is a problem: ie no hdd seen in bios, make sure your bios supports the new hdd size, check cables, and jumpers. If the drive is too large, try the drive overlay program that will come with the new drive.
