Which drive do you have?
This is a G4 tower?
If it's a G4 tower and your hard drive is 120 GB or less, just make it a slave and add it onto the bus with your current hard drive.
If you want a good deal of increased speed... make it the master, install it on the bus with your current drive after making it a slave.. then Carbon Copy Clone your old drive onto the new one, reboot to the new drive, and erase the old one. (Feel free to take out the old drive at this point).
If your new drive is over 120 GB, how far?
G4 towers at 400 Mhz only see 128 GB Max without using a new IDE/SATA/FW controller for the drive.
