Is that a car switch?

Sounds like power would be in (red, positive from feed), ACC (Accessory) would be red OUT, and GND (ground or -V black) would be to light a bulb in the switch when on.

Probabably easiest if you get a HDD power splitter, and use that to provide the in and out connectors.

Can't remember, on the HDD power leads, is it the RED or the YELLOW that's the +12v ?
