Um, I guess you missed the part where I said I moved it to another connector on the ribbon cable... Well, anyway, thanks to Travis on this list who was VERY helpful, I did figure it all out. There was another ATA ribbon cable inside the MT that was not connected to anything and I connected that to the other IDE bus at J9, connected it to the hard drive, and plugged a power plug into it. I booted it back up and the iMac HD mounted on the desktop, the CDROM still works (since it is back to original configuration), and my system works fine with no slowdown. So problem solved!
