My whole objective in searching for a video like this was to learn where on the motherboard you connect the data cable for the 2nd drive. I have one cable going to the Primary HD, one going to the R/W DVD drive and then it looks like a Yellow and Blue still empty. Which one do I use for the 2nd HD? You totally zoomed by that like everyone is supposed to know all this stuff. . .

Great video! I have an HP m8530f that freezes and BSOD. I replaced the HD and will make the old drive secondary. I will use the recovery disks to format the new HD. However since the old HD still has data.. do I need to do anything with that drive? I know I need to make sure the BIOS recognizes BOTH drives.. but is there anything else I need to do to the old HD?

how will you know here, which hard drive is Primary Master and which one is Primary Slave in both one that is attached here?

With SATA there really isn't that distinction anymore. Each drive has a single connection to the motherboard and it isn't necessary to designate one as Master or Slave. On older systems using IDE connections, the positioning of a jumper on the drive and its position on the cable create that designation.
