    You need to remove your current Hard Disk Drive and replace it with the Solid State Drive, and then install Windows 7 by booting off the Windows 7 installation DVD.

    There is a little adapter that you'll need to pull off your old HDD and slot it onto the SATA connector on your new SSD for it to fit properly.
