    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    The IDE cable connecting your current hard drive should have another connector in the middle. Just connect it to that.

    If it doesnt then you will need to buy another IDE cable to replace it.

    Make sure the cable is connected the right way around, if it doesnt work just connect it the other way.

    Also, if you have the second connector on the IDE cable, you need to make sure you properly set one up as a master and the other as a slave.
