You have an IDE drive and a SATA motherboard.

There are various adapters for that.

If you're intent on using an old, slow IDE drive with a new PC....
You get an IDE cable (this goes to the drive), one of the adapters linked above, and a SATA data cable (this goes to the motherboard). Plug everything in. It might work.
