you should contact your mobo dealer or buy a new one. its not that expensive...and yes... your PC still working...

Sure it will work. Somewhere in the bios you would have to tell it to enable the sata port, and possibly the boot order, although mine just looks for the drive that has windows on it.
I hope the cable is not much, I thought I got one with the new drive and the motherboard
