Harddrive question

    I recently bought a Western Digital IDE hard-drive while stateside for cheap, only to return home and find out that the only IDE connector on the motherboard was for the optical drives. The hard-drive that is in it is connected via Serial ATA (its a Dell by the way). I was just wondering it there's a convertor or something that i can get to allow me to plug this hard-drive into the mother-board, all the convertors that I have seen just allow you to plug Serial ATA drives into IDE slots!

    I suppose the moral of the story is to know your computer before buying anything for it, normally i would, i was just lazy!
