Power cable from mains to DVD writer

    Is it possible to get another cable (little red and black ones I think) and link it to the main power of the computer to the dvd writer? I bought 2 new IDE devices ( 200gb Drive and Sony DVD writer) so I needed an IDE PCI adapter. But I need another power cable to turn on the sony writer? Can you get them and if so how do you put them in?

    Cheers
