If there are four connectors, then you are probably referring to Serial ATA (SATA). If the connector is a small, L-shaped socket, then you simply need to get a SATA cable.

It is a thin flat cable, almost always red with black connectors at the ends. At least one should have came with the motherboard/case/power supply or hard drive.

You can usually use any of the plugs on the motherboard, but look for one that says SATA0 (zero) or SATA1. Just start with the lowest number you can find.

Can you connect your 5.1 speakers with a wire type connector to a laptop without a player?

I don't think you can. Your player has specific ports which allow your 5.1 set to connect to it. Sadly, a laptop doesn't have ports for this type of connection. However, if you can get hold of an AUX cable, you will be able to connect your laptop directly to your player, and play songs off your laptop directly through you home cinema.
