@hossatplay , welcome to the Community.

 

You will need a power cable from your power supply unit (PSU), SATA cable and a spare SATA port on your motherboard.  This will allow you to use the drive as storage.

Hi

 

Remove the PC serial number in your post.

 

A slave HDD suggests the old IDE HDD standard. Your PC supports additional platter SATA HDDs or 2.5 inch SATA SSDs.

 

You should be able to connect the HDD using HP provided SATA data and power connections with no problems.

 

You might need a SATA data cable, HP usually provides a SATA power cable.

 

New PCs use GPT. The GPT OS installation should be able to mount the secondary SATA HDD formatted as MBR.

 

You might have to get a 3.5 inch SATA HDD to USB 3.0 adapter if you can't access the HDD when internally connected to the MB and power supply.
