I little bit harder than screwing in a lightbulb and easier than changing your own oil. If you done it before it takes about 5 minutes. If not maybe 15-20 minutes. Here a nice little instruction site with pictures:

Just always make sure your grounded when messing around inside of your computer. Once you open it up, you'll be surprised at how easy it is.

its really, really really easy

make sure if its your second drive on the cables you have it set to SL (slave) otherwise neither of your drives will work.

otherwise, you slide the drive into the cage you screw it in, you plug in the power cables and the IDE cables then trun your computer on and test your drive.
