That does not look like an ide or a sata connection. Looks to big to be a sata connection. I am not sure what that is.

Looks like a mixture of SATA and Parallel! Never seen that before! - Do you still have the documentation?

That looks like a laptop IDE connector...
Edit: Or like an old external case connector

I don't know if there is an adapter for it, this is an old technology.
Did you pull this off a laptop? If from a desktop, how was it connected?

DVD-116ME
Is the model for the drive I'm trying to test. It uses and IDE connector on the back.
My PC currently uses a ND 6650A

Are you saying that the Dell XPS 200 desktop has the ND 6650A currently installed? From what I have found online, that is a notebook drive with the IDE/ATAPI interface. Why would a desktop have a notebook drive in it?
And the model DVD-116ME has the ATAPI interface which I believe is different than IDE.

You CURRENTLY have this one?
And you are trying to ADD this one?
Sorry, that is not compatable.

No, the other way around.
It comes with a notebook drive because the XPS 200 was designed to be an ultra comact desktop.
It suffers from excess heat which causes it to sound like a jet engine if you overwork the CPU too much.
My laptop has the same exact drive too.
