I'd try the drive swap idea, but the 5.25 inch bays are too far from the 3.5 inch bays to make the connections with the cables that I have.
I have a box full of 3.5" to 5.25" drive adapter frames (that box sits next to a box full of 5.25" floppy drives). Get you one of those adapters from http://www.cyberguys.com/
I assume you have a case with plenty of 5.25" bays. You just mount the 3.5" drive into one of those 5.25" frames and install it into a 5.25" bay.
I have reversed the IDE cables and used the end with a small amount of space between the connectors on the motherboard end. That has worked on some occasions.
