That is old fashioned, long live 386! :)
If it is a SATA drive then this is definitely not applicable.  On an IDE drive, 
it may apply.  That depends on the age of the motherboard.  Considering that 
Humberto has a Core 2 Duo CPU, I doubt that is necessary.  From my experience, 
it never hurts to connect the little cable just to be sure - it's one less 
thing that you can say is not the problem.
