Your motherboard most likely has a two channel IDE contoller, so you can connect it to the middle plug of the IDE ribbon cable inside of your computer. You will just have to set the jumpers correctly. (assuming they are IDE hard drives)

you shoudl be able to plug both of then in at the same time. on the back of the harddrive there is what they call a jumper. there are a bunch of metal prongs on the back of the drive. and there will be a some pieve that koos to of them together, make sure your older harddrive is set to slave, and the new one to master, this tells the computer which harddrive to boot from.
there are 2 places to plug the harddrive in on the cable.
