Hello,
Try this 1.
Look for the IDE connector on your motherboard. I will be having 40pins. There
will be a text "IDE" at the side of the connector.
Click on the below image to see how the IDE looks liks.

Most probably you can find it near the RAM slots section or near the SATA
connectors. Just take a look at your motherboard for that connector.
If you don't have any IDE connector on your motherboard then you have to use
the converter to connect to your new PC. You can use the IDE to SATA converter
to connect the IDE hard drive to the SATA connector or IDE to USB connector to
connect the IDE hard drive to your USB port. The smaller wire which you are
mentioning it may be the SATA data cable and it is different from the IDE cable.
Good Luck.
