Is there an adapter I can buy? Any links would be greatly appreciated! Also, any other options would be appreciated as well!!! Thanks!
 
Yes, there are adapters from small molex to big molex and vice versa. The other options is to buy a USB floppy which requires no power cord instead it ust uses one USB slot.
 
These connectors always came with the using drive. Anyway - they are commonly available at any electronics parts store - yeah, even Radio Shack!

All PSUs should have at least one floppy size power connector unless "someone" who lacked foresight cut the dang thing off... Yes, adapters are available but I would get a Y (sometimes called a power splitter) instead with one leg being floppy size and the other a large drive connector. Much more flexible and won't cost much more than a one-to-one adapter. I get my stuff like that from SVC.com (if I can't get it locally) as they'll send small stuff 1st Class mail (uninsured - you have to assume all shipping risks) - saves a lot on shipping. I've handled several orders that way w/o problem.
