If you're wanting to start from scratch, then remove your old hard drive and put in the new one as the master. Now, you have two choices on getting the HD ready. One, you can create a boot floppy and boot your computer from that and then fdisk and format the hard drive. Or two, you can boot an OS from the OS CD-ROM (assuming its a bootable one) and install from there.
