Just got a new dvd burner

I just bought a new dvd burner. there are no ide hooks up's just sata. there is a big one and a small hook up. my mother board does not have one of these. I bought a host sata card and cable. I put the card in and my computer recongnized it but i can't get it to pick up the burner. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you install drivers for the SATA card?
