Our old hard drive used a huge flat gray wire connector, and our new one doesn't have a place for that. The wires that came with it we can't find a place to plug them in.

Our old hard drive was 80 GB, and our new hard drive is 500 GB. :/

If your really desperate I think ( but I won't swear) they have a PCI card you can plug in to use it. I can't tell you how much it would cost you however.

Must we return it?

No, but you will have to buy a SATA controller.  

This one is cheap, but limited to 1.5Gb/s.  But you shouldn't notice much of a difference if you could run 3.0Gb/s anyway.

Returning the disc and saving to buy a new computer is a more cost effective option than trying to upgrade a 10 year old computer in any manner, assuming it still mostly has components from 1999 in it.

Probably the best idea.  Just get a cheap new PC.

This is under $300, but would be a far step up from what you have.  I'm not a fan of the brand, but it would still get the job done.

It's amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out
without preconceived notions.

But a 10 year old computer is really, really old.
