hp pavillion dv 1000 laptop. How do I connect a hard drive as the motherboard appears to have connectors that I have never seen before

See page 5-9 of the Service Manual here:

It uses old school IDE type hard drives and then there is a pin adapter that goes over the brass pins on the hard drive. The adapter then plugs into the motherboard in the proprietary port you are seeing.

The adapter is also called an interposer. Then you need the hard drive caddy or sled as well:
