You need an IDE to SATA adapter, something like this:

Thats exactly what i need thankyou.

 

Some Kreon drives don't work well with a convertor connected to them.

You may want to just get a SATA capable caddy or external convertor like this, you then just connect via USB or Firewire, depending on the one you choose.

Keep in mind your transfer rates will funnel down to IDE capabilities. Just a thought.
