Yes, the 4 pin connector next to the actual 40-way ide connector needs power. I know there's a 12v, a 5v and a gnd there, and i know there's 2 of one of the powers, but don't remember which, been a while since i needed to know...
The picture of your connector box here
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...ion=BYTECC BT-300 USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA Adapter shows the IDE connection. No scope for power from the device there, or on any other face for an IDE/PATA drive in standard molex form.
The SATA interface, however, has power there as well as data. There are little dongley wires for PC modders that get a SATA power connector out of a standard 4-pin PC molex. One of these used backwards
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812105409 should get you power assuming you are plugging the supplied wall-socket kit in. Note that the 4-pin molex on this connector is female not male (as it's not meant to be used this way round) so you'll need to stack it with something like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...able with Blue LED Light Model A2369 - Retail - a bit excessive with all the LED and stuff, but would work in this case - just connect the SATA to molex plug to the BYTECC, stack any old molex y splitter with it and connect the remaining molex of the y into your optical drive. So long as the PSU supplied with the BYTECC box can give enough juice, you're done. Consider taping up the 1 output of the y split that you aren't using maybe...
