On the IDE cables there should be a hookup towards the middle to attach another device such as a another hard drive. If not, then you will need another IDE cable which has 2 ports to hook up to, but most, if not all, hard drive come with an IDE cable with 2 ports for your hard drives, so you should be fine.

Yes, but most drives come standard as Cable-Select so as long as he hooks it up to the port in the middle then it should automatically set itself to slave.
