Look at the back of the drive where the cable connects.

Does it look like this (SATA): http://flippies.com/adflipoff/wp-content/plugins/RSSPoster_PRO/cache/3661d_sata.jpg

or like this (IDE): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/86/idei.jpg/

Technical info on that drive can be found here: http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/hdd/hddredirect-drivenum.html
