Umm...we need more info.

The SATA cable should be just fine for hooking it up, unless you don't have a SATA spot at all, and got confused between SATA and PATA (in which case I would advise you to step away from the xbox...slowly). If that's not the case, then I dunno.

On second thought, you might have a better time asking about this in the DVD Drive forum
