Only thing I can think of, would be to confirm the HDD connector, it should be a SATA (vs IDE) but when it comes to older stuff and you're out and way, doesn't hurt to make sure... IDE has pin hole connections on a rectangular plug where SATA is a smaller slotted type..
Once connection is verified any size (GB) should work. The system should see it without any modification to BIOS. Then boot to your USB as you normally do to install LL (may need to set order to USB).
If you get an error similar to "no OS found" the system is trying to boot the new HD without an OS. Check USB is 1st boot and install.
Once LL is installed it will be the only OS on the disk.
