What type of HDD interface is this?

Hello dear computer enthusiasts,
In the mid-2000s I got a Dell lap top with a Hitachi Travelstar HDD, model HTS424030M9AT00. I tried to connected it to my USB-to-SATA&IDE adapter, but couldn't. The drive's label says it's an ATA/IDE drive, see attached image, but that doesn't seem to be correct, isn't that odd?
Does any of the esteemed contributors know, by looking at the image, what kind of connector we're dealing with, so I can get the appropriate adapter?

Many thanks in advance ,
Atali

There is probably a plastic adapter on the end that converts pins to connect to laptop. Seen that all the time in older models. You just need to pull the adapter off to access pins.
