help installing a second hard drive

hi,

i would like some help with installing a second hard drive to my pc,
i partitioned my hard drive to keep documents secure but it's now getting full,

so, i would like to install an old IDE disk (320GB) to my system as extra backup, my current hard drive is a SATA, therefore it does not have the jumper cables to add the slave drive,

my cd-rom drive connects through a jumper cable, it has a slave,can i connect the IDE to this or it it for an extra cd-rom drive?

do i have to set the IDE as slave?


how would i go about doing all of this?

anyone know any tutorials on how to connect a IDE to a SATA system?

any ideas would be appreciated,

thanks
