New Dell, Cant put old hard drive in ! arghh

Options
Hello
Ive got a 80gb hard drive which I had in an old pc and it has all my saved items on it.
In my wisdom my new Dell arrived today and I immediately went to put the old drive in it (as additional) but realised the connections are completely different ! There is no long (god knows how many pins) connector or the other one with 5 ! The New dell has a SATA 250gb drive in it with a 8bm data burst (whatever that is)
Can anyone explain this to me ? PLEASE :confused:
If you want to get ahead in the Rat Race then you will need some faster Rats !! :rolleyes:
