Normally, you can connect 4 IDE devices up, so one of those devices you've got plugged in will have a "spare" IDE-connector on it......plug that into the drive (making sure that the dip-switches are set on the drive to how you're plugging it in - primary master, primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave), plug a spare power-molex into the drive, and power the machine up... | |

there is another one joined to the one that goes from the hd, but it goes to a DVD drive. | |

Learn from this too, a power surge protector costs about £15, get one of those for the future :) | |

take your case off......and there should ... (if your only running 1 or 2 hard drives of your on) ....be a few wires ith a white connector coming out of the power supply......then plug that into your hard-drive.....then look for a grey cable...its flat....with a black connector on the end...it will more than likely llreay be pluggged into your other hrd-drive.....but it has more than one connector on it:P | |

If the power surge hit the PSU it's likely that the PSU is fried, along with the motherboard. Nasty. | |

could have damaged the PSU so it isn't providing power to the motherboard. Or more worse the motherboard is fried. I had this happen once. Had to have new motherboard and cpu. | |
