    Is the connecter to the left of the SATA connecter that isn't labeled where a 4-pin power cable can go in? If so, then I could run a Hard drive on 4-pin power and a SATA cable to the motherboard?

    It's a Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB.

    Welcome to HWF :)

    The right connector (SATA power) needs to be connected to the power supply. You need a molex-to-SATA cable to connect the 4-wire power cable to the SATA drive.
