OT - SATA drive in IDE box

I want to put an interenal 1TB SATA drive in a box that only has IDE 
interface.

What do I need for this?  I see IDE to SATA power cables, but not 
interface cables? (probably need more than just an interface cable!)

I have been using an external drive, but the system hangs on reboot due 
to timings on the USB drive interface.  I have to disconnect the USB 
drive, reboot, login to GUI (for the auto mount) then insert the drive.  
Too much.
