hi, i just bought a raedon 9800xt vid card, i thought hey... no biggy just like any other vid card upgrade... the only problem is i also decided to upgrade to SATA hd's so i bought a single sata wd2500jd, well my hard drives instructions, correct me if im wrong specifically say, dont connect the ps=power supply molex to the hard drive if the secure sata cable is installed, well i have the secure sata cable installed and connected to my a7n8x-e deluxe motherboard, now to my problem, my new video cards instructions tell me to disconnect the hd molex and connect the female connector to the hd, then run the 2nd molex to the power supply.... any help would be greatly appreciated as to how to avoid frying my hard drive/vid due to conflicting instructions... if my hd's were ide i wouldnt have this problem... so i will really be needing help here. thanks in advance

Just hook up one of the molex connectors directly to the vid card. Dont wory about having to use one of the connectors that come from the hard drive. No biggie.
