Installing New Hard Drive

I have a Dell Demension 2350 and it is giving me a big problem. I have reinstalled windows xp and I still have the problem (the problem is: the computer freeze). I brought a new hard drive and I want to know if I can install the operating system on the new hard drive? I have all of the disc that came with the computer.

marcelluseaster,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

You would need to make the new harddrive the primary drive. You would also need to partition, format and the reinstall Windows.
