How many pins does your old SATA HDD have and how many does your motherboard have for powersupply? Just look up a connector with the different pins.

Sounds like you may have the wrong adapter. What you have sounds like it wants to connect an older style motherboard with IDE to a newer hard drive with SATA. From what you said, you are trying to go the other way.
