How do i make new SSD compatible with my macbookpro

hello all,

My HD cable recently failed meaning that i can not boot my macbookpro up or anyuthing, I bought a new cable but it wont come for two weeks! At the same time that my cable stopped working i was upgradeing my macbookpro by putting a SSD in the oprical drive. Somehow i must have messed up the HD cable when installing the SSD 😟 So now i want to know how i can boot my computer to the SSD in the optical drive. Here is the SSD that i bought http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=77394 89&tab=7&SRCCODE=WEBLET101SATSFY&cm_mmc=Email-_-WebletMain-_-WEBLET101SATSFY-_-S atisfy&utm_source=EML&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=WEBLET101SATSFY

I have tried to open up Disk utility but i dont realy know how i can use that to make the SSD compatible. Do I make a partition or something? and if so, how do i then boot to the new SSD. Thanks for all the help!
