as I understand this the IDE still gets connected to the regular power supply, I used a different IDE to SATA. hope this helps.(you do know the smaller slit of the SATA is power? try not connecting that and connect the IDE power as usual)

You'll need an IDE power connector to SATA power converter cable. They are cheap and easy to locate on the web for around $7.00 each. Search for "ide power to sata power adapter" that will return plenty of results.

It worked connecting my IDE DVD-RW to my SATA Motherboard. I used the "Master" jumper pin setting on my IDE DVD-RW just to be sure. Most IDE drives are probably set to "Cable Select" by default. Just make sure you use the "IDE Host to SATA HD" SATA connector on the adapter if using an IDE DVD or Hard drive to a SATA Motherboard and if the red light stays on, you should be good to go.

Hmmm... I had the opposite problem when I put mine together. I found the data port (located in front left quadrant of mb), but discovered I needed to buy a molex to sata power conversion cable. to get power.

You have SATA cables that connect your HDD to the Mother board. Then you will have a 5 wire ribbon cable with multi drive plugs for the HDD's and the end plug will connect to your power supply. I hope this helps . . . Bob

If its Sata it wont work, has to be ATA or they also called it IDE, for newer Dell Laptops, Sata will work and not ATA (IDE).

I had no problem using the adapter, all I did was remove the IDE dvd drive from my computer and replaced it with the new sata drive dvd. I then connected the adapter to the sata drive. I then connected the 4 pin power cable to the adapter and the Ide cable to the adapter . all works very well.

This is an IDE drive, you may need a SATA drive. The model docs do not say what type of connector it has. The hard drive is SATA so I would say you would need the same. Open the laptop and compare connectors to be sure.

the unit has a sata connection, but i used an adapter, from ide to sata, which used a molix, and powered the unit.

IDE is a different interface than SATA. The transfer DID work for me with a Windows 7 upgrade, however.

When you buy the sata cabel get the power connector with it! so you can power up the sata drive! to use with the converter!

The drive itself needs a sata data cable and a hard drive power supply cable(don't know the name of that) look on best buy or some store that has these two cables on one end and a USB/ port on ur laptop for the other.

The sata connectors will all be on a chain together, look on your hard drive and see the connector that is the largest slot? Find the cables that match the shape of the connector, remember don't force it too much, make sure you are inserting it the right way

the SATA connector plugs straight into the disk drive and provides the data and power connection for the SATA hard disk. The IDE side of the adapter functions just like the back end of an IDE drive. Plug in the 34 pin data ribbon cable and then the 4 pin molex power supply connector.

Hello, I bought it some months ago.Just use the SATA cable and the power cable connected to your mother board and that's it.
