Man, I don't know, the one I have came with mine and I'm not tellin you where I
live! Just take hold of the cable near the plug on one end and push it real
hard in to the plug. Do the same with the other end until you get it down to
six inches! Ha Ha. Sorry for the bad joke. You might try a radio shack???
You never know.

Hey, where can I get one of those 6 inch cables, as I lost the one that came
with my hard drive and I want another one.

It also may have to do with the length of your USB cable. I know the one
that came with my 160 Gig Western Digital has about a six inch cable. I
tried a longer cable, around three feet, and it would not power the hard
drive.
