Installing second HDD in Dell Studio 1735

I want to install a second HDD (TOSHIBA SATA HDD 2H01).  It is a drive sent by Dell as a replacement for my primary drive, and it is already IMAGED.

Question:  If I install it in the second drive bay - then all I will have to do is restart and format the drive?  As in follow the guidance below posted by Chris M? 

Go into your BIOS at startup by pressing F2, then highlight your new drive, press enter to enable it. Save changes and bootup the computer. Then go into Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management. Right Click on your drive to format it, and then assign an drive letter. Note: This can be done only for an internal Non-RAID disk. Not for an external HDD or RAID Enabled disks.
