No, you need an IDE cable. Is your harddrive a 2,5" or 3,5"?

I have a 2.5inch hd

Then you just need a 2,5" --> 2,5" cable. It's a 44 pin cable, and I'm sure your local computer shop either have one, or can get hold of one.

have in mind too, that 2.5 inch hard disks usualy take power from the ide cable so you may not need any extra power cable.
