How to Install a New Internal Hard Drive in Your Desktop PC

Installing a new hard drive in your PC is a fairly straightforward task that an intermediate user can typically accomplish in about 20 to 30 minutes. Follow these simple directions to get your new hard drive up and running quickly.

First, be sure to obtain a new drive that uses the same connector interface as your existing drive. In most current models, this will be a SATA connector. With your new drive in hand, disconnect your PC's power supply, and open up the case.

If the new drive is going to be your system's only hard drive, remove the old one by detaching the power and data cables from it, unscrewing the screws (usually two or four) that mount it to the case, and then sliding the drive out of its cage. Once the old drive is out of the way, screw the new one into the drive cage and attach the power and data cables just as they were on the old drive.
