It is as Emerald says. There is no such cable. They are both two different technologies that do not appreciate interaction at a power level. The normal result is a smokey affair. The best thing you can do is purchase another enclosure for the drive (they can be bought cheap) and put the drive in that assuming the drive is SATA. IDE enclosures are rare these days.
