Default Taken the sata drive out of bt vision box

I have took the sata drive out of the bt vision box an trying to put it in my pc.

How can i get power to the drive to get it working.

The P5 cable with for connectors i have tried sing that to power the drive with the sata cable that was in the bt box.

I just chopped the wires from the sata cable that was in the BT box and tried pushing them into the p5 cable (successflly)

but still no power to the drive.

What am i doing wrong ?

You need a molex to sata converter, a short piece of cable with molex one end and the sata type plug on the other for power, it plugs in next to the one from the mobo.
