Most modern motherboards no longer feature legacy connectors such as PATA. You have a couple of choices here. Either use a SATA/PATA bi-directional adapter (probably the cheapest option, but not guaranteed to work correctly), or replace the drive with one that comes with the SATA interface (recommended)

There is a 24 pin power connector and an 8 pin power connector that need to be connected. The PCI power connectors are likely for PCIe video cards.
