External electric piano instruments

I bought M-Audio's "Premium Electric Pianos" sampler instrument pack for use with Logic. However, I find Logic incredibly hard to use (and plus I don't even know how to install this there - see Logic Express 8 forum), and I'd like to be able to use these instruments in Garageband. Is this possible? How? Please help.

Macbook (white), Mac OS X (10.5.6)

you should be able to just drag and drop the samples in to the loop browser... or drop them straight into the loop folder in your HDD

You can find many tutorials online for Logic such as:

Were you talking about in Garageband? These are sampled software instruments (i.e. a .exs file then a bunch of .aif samples) and you have to put the files in different places on the HD. dragging them into the loop browser only makes them loops which is kind of useless. How do I install it as one of the actual instruments?
And thanks for the link about Logic, it helps.
