am trying to recover data from my old 3.5" desktop HDD using a "usb to sata/ide" kit. youtube video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_26166&feature=iv&src_vid=ZmoPGV7qWs4&v=Zvom7l-jcKE)

adapter kit is here(http://www.ebay.in/itm/261775205494?aff_source=Sok-Goog)

am wondering what to do with the PATA power port when all thats required are the "SATA power" and the "SATA data" ports. heres a pic of my HDD ports(http://www.gocomputertraining.com/images/SATA-HDD-connector.gif)
