Essentially you are trying to convert a PATA ide hard drive to a SATA just by adapting cables? Don't think this will work. Just connect your old drive to an IDE channel the same as your optical drives are on. Check the boot order in bios to assure that the SATA is the primary boot hard drive and you'll be good to go.
