Perhaps its a misunderstanding between Serial and Parallel IDE cables?

If you can afford it you should seriously get another laptop. You can buy a new or second hand old laptop (PII/PIII) for like 150-250 GBP easily.
If not, then you might want to ask the guy that sold you the cable to plug it in him/herself. |

There are HDD adaptors for mounting notebook HDD's into PC. If you can find one that works the other way round, it might _just_ work.

I've had a laptop and ditched it after a month... didn't do me any good and was hard to keep up to date with everything. Went back to a tower and a nice LCD screen... that's better and at least you know that you built it

Well wade sun, get over this 386 crap. Period.
Sure use it as an old retro games machine but to crap on about it is useless. |
