no need to change any settings in the bios.Just make sure that the connection on the hard drive is properly connected that IDE cables and the power for it.After that go to SYSTEM SETUP.(f2).Once you are in setup lit up all the lights for NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK and the SCROLL LOCK. while those are lit up.Press ALT+F , ALT+E, ALT+B.That's it the hdd should be detected...By the way make sure that the jumper on your hard driver is properly set.

As they are replacing the boot drive, it's likely that no steps need to be taken except installing the drive and booting to the XP CD.
I need to replace my HD and would like to know if I need to make any changes in Bios before I start this procedure? I am aware of the CD rom being first to boot. Also, if anyone knows a link that might help me out. I own a 2400, the new hd is a WD800. Thanks.
There should be absolutely nothing you need to do except set the jumper to cable select and boot to the XP CD as you suggested.
