Question about installing a new Hard Drive

[gangster]

Im going to get a new 320GB internal Hard Drive for my computer cause im having problems with the Hard Drive that I got. I want to know is Hard Drive's hard to install or is it like installing an intenal dvd burner or something. This will be my first time installing a Hard Drive and thats why I wanna know how hard is it. I know how to install a dvd burn I just wanna know is it the same. I know that you have to set the jumpers and everything. I just wanna know is it hard. Someone please help me. Thanks

its pretty much exactly like installing a dvd drive, it should be easy as pie, the directions should be sufficent, if not though just post up what your having troubles with and will help you

correct orientation: PCB faces downward
Jumper: only if it is an IDE drive (you don't say but the latest 320GB drives are SATA so I assume you talking about one)

Otherwise pretty much the same, they generate heat so a decent gap between the top of the drive and whatever is above it is preferable.
