Question about DV7-6143cl 2nd hard drive bay cable.

I recently purchased a Crucial M4 128 GB SSD for increasing the performance of my laptop. When I took out the bottem cover, I notice that the 2nd bay long cable were missing. Is that a freaking joke!? HP sold me a laptop which is "upgradeable" but at the same time is not upgradable. I don't want to spend almost $40 for a dang wire on http://www.newmodeus.com !!! It is just a wire, how come you guys don't include it in my laptop? Is there any place that I can buy that wire for a lower price let say around $20? If so I would be really appreciated.

Did you ever find a SATA connector for your second drive?

I have the same compute-r with the same new Crucial SDD & with the same problem!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
