haha I never knew those things were also called PATA.
i just always called them IDE Drives
Anyways - that or you can buy an enclosure and use the drive as an external USB drive as well

you can get a IDE to SATA converter/adapter, you can find them at NCIX or ME for 10 to 30 bucks.

I'd prefer to use an IDE to USB adapter personally.
That way there is no confusion over which drive to boot from, you don't have to shutdown your current machine...etc.
