[Larry J on his Dell LT]

Good morning Lucas,

This maybe some what late since it appears you have solved your problem but FYI.  Monoprice (accessible here in the states)  sells a 24 pin to 20 pin adapter harness for  less than $3 USD.    They also have a companion  20pin ATX to 24 Pin ATX harness.
