I want to add more hard drive to my computer and want to know can I just plug it in place, remove the jumper? and let the new hardware wizard take care of it?

yes you can, hard disks are plug and play. just set your drive depending on which IDE you will place it. if you connect it with a master HD on IDE0, you have to set the jumper to the slave position either by removing the jumper or transferring to another location.
Then go to the BIOS and let it detect your hard disk.
afterwards you can start your OS and voila! you have another drive.

yes u can. make jumper setting as u prefer which drive to work as master. If there is no auto detection for the drive, just enter into settings(press delete key at booting ) change to auto detct the drive.

No problem, just refer to the jumper settings which should be displayed on the drive itself.

Jon yes you can long as your second drive set to SLAVE. Does your motherboard support it? If yes then do it Jon.
