Hard Drive - WTF? Please Help -PIC WORKS NOW

[Ninjafrank]

Sorry for making another thread, but this is very important.

I just got my new hardrive, ram, and dvd-drive from newegg today. Everything works perfectly except the HDD which is most likely my fault. The back of it looks like this:

...but I have no cable that can fit in that, I don't think. All my IDE cables are skinny,grey and long. I'm so sick right now becuase I think I ****ed myself over by ordering the wrong hardrive. Its a Seagate 250gig hdd.

I have an ASUS K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo.

Please help, I just need suggests or explanation. Thanks.

Ya, Its SATA you should have a cable that came with motherboard.

Unless your board is old and doesn't support sata. If not you can buy an adapter or you could send the drive back then order an IDE.

You should have a sata cable.

I don't think that ASUS make that board, I could be wrong but I didn't see it on their website. I know MSI make a board with that model name and if I is that board then all you need is this.
