It's really just as simple as mounting it in your tower your computer will detect it, and pretty much walk you through it at that point.

Put it in an external casing and USB that shit, or firewire.

There's a pretty good walk-through
here.
It's not complicated. Basically you plug it in, ensure the computer knows where it is by correctly setting the jumpers and then format once it's up and running.

Seriously, I am not being a dick, but if you don't know how to put a HD in a computer case, just get an external casing and pop it in and plug it into your computer with USB. It is as easy as masturbation
Then you will have a portable storage. Why would you not?

I think he already bought an internal HD.
An external would be easier though.

I was going to post how I've done it a few times myself, but Tom's walk-through nails it better than my explaining ever will.

Yeah I know. Take the internal and put it in an external casing. Seriously no body knows about this? You can buy external casings and you just slide the internal HD into the casing and voila, external HD.
