Xbox DVD ROM in PC
Ok so there are different generations of Xbox's. Some have 10 gigs some have 8 gigs. Ok so I moded mine and I realize that I dont have a DVD burner, like the new gen, so I took it out and replaced it. The point is that now I have a DVD ROM and would like to put it in my pc. The IDE cable works fine and all that but the power isnt the same molex 4 pin connector, so what I'm asking is if anyone happens to know where to buy this converter. If not anyone happen to know the power layout on the pins, lol, I know this is kindof out there but it's do-able. .....thnx guys.....

Hey why not try and post photos of it to us!
I mean all it needs as it seems, is juice! If we see the connector, then we could help...maybe. JAN

Issue
Even if you did get a plug converter (if they exist for this type of application), you will probably damage the drive with the input power from the psu to the drive and you would have compatibility issues up the wazoo. Most likely the computer probably wouldn't even recognize it as a plug and play device. I think its a waste of time to try to get it to work and with the risk of damaging the drive, its not worth it.

its not worth it because it won't work. the compatiblity between an xbox dvd drive and a pc is none. its impossible to say the least.
