You will need a 40 pin IDE to 44 pin laptop drive IDE adapter board or
cable. Pins 1 to 40 on both connectors connect directly to each other. Pins
41-44 are for power and require 5 volts only. I can't remember which is
which for + or - connections, but an adapter should have a power connector
on it to connect a standard PC drive connector.
Search with Google for an adapter, or check your local computer fairs.
