How can I adapt my new 2.5″ SATA Internal Drive to work on my IDE Mac Mini?

I bought a Hitatchi Travelstar 2.5″ 7200RPM 200GB internal drive for my Mac Mini but did not know that my Mini runs off a IDE connection. The new drive is SATA. I am replacing the busted factory HD so I can’t just stick it in a case and use it externaly. The mini is the 1.42ghz G4. I know the new ones are SATA. any one want to buy this thing?!?!?

Can’t find a laptop hard drive with drop protection?

I’m looking for an ide hard drive for a laptop, preferably 7200 rpm, that has drop protection, that is if the hard drive senses great acceleration it will park the heads to prevent damage on the disk. I haven’t been able to find one for purchase online, at least one that says it has this feature.
Thanks to anyone who can provide a site to purchase them!
