need model of converter, motherboard and harddrive.

if its a new hard drive you might need to enable its jumper for the orginal sata spec not the newer sata spec.

and sometimes they just dont work.

you could return the hard drive and buy an IDE one.. best thing to do probably

A lot of those wont work if you are using the drive as the boot drive, however if it's not a boot drive you just make it the master and add the adapter.
