being that the seagate needs an ide connector to plug into on the motherboard & you only have 1 that is filled with the 2 rom drives, get an ide pci controller card to fit into 1 of your empty pci slots & do what i said above.

If you don't want to spend the $58 bucks then you are out of luck. Return the HDD and get a different one or sell the HDD.
