if you're 'adding' a hd u can just right click on the drive in windows and select format
it's actually quite fool proof because the connectors only fit one way (ie. the 'L' shapes, one long one short for SATA), maybe you can look at ur original hd for reference.
1) sata cable one end to your motherboard, one end to your harddrive
2) sata power cable from your power supply plug into your harddrive. if you don't have an extra connector check if your motherboard came with an extra adapter or purchase one at the store.
the only confusing part would be your case. if it's an old plain case it's just 2+ screws holding your harddive, if it has a drive cage or rails you need to play around with it a bit as every case is different
also make sure ur mb has sata, it probably does
when in doubt you can always take pictures of the extra cables available in your case, maybe a model no. of your case and motherboard.....
