Not in a computer that featured a floppy drive as standard. Computers with floppy drives (4 years old or older) used 34-pin connectors for the floppies and 40-pin (PATA or IDE) cables for the hard drives. Modern computers use Serial ATA, and some SATA floppy drives are available, but they are not common.
