Download the manufacturers datasheet. Then connect it
to the AVR according to the datasheet. Then have the
timing of the signals according to the datasheet.
Then have a look at the command set. Now arrange the
commands to format the disk, read and write to it.
Yes, a filesystem ... perhaps FAT16 with 65536 allocation
units, each at least one sector.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Those people are selling a flash chip on a stick.

The OP was asking about an HDD. I presume that means "Hard Disk Drive".
I'd just look up the IDE spec. From what I've heard, it looks like a big
memory array. (IDE == "Intelligent Device Interface")

For example:

second hit at
http://www.google.com/search?q=IDE+interface+spec

Good Luck!

Besides the most excellent answers you receive here, you might want to
try the computer storage group as well.

comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage

Good luck.

You'll have to gather some information. Google for "ATA" to find the
interface information you need. Google for "Commodore 64" and "hard disk" or
HDD to find at least one example. No need to say you need the datasheet of
your AVR as well.

You may want to take a look of the YAMPP schematics and sources:

No, he'd sell "flash sausages" on a stick.
