Hi Josie,

 

The IDE cable has three color coded connectors, black and blue as you mentioned and then the gray one. The black connector is for the Master drive while the gray connector is for the Slave Drive. Since you have one Drive, you only need to use black. The blue connector then goes to the Motherboard or IDE controller card. Hope this helps.
