problem with new dvd
- Thread starter Moan
- Start date
Just plug it in, will work fine. They are backward compatible.
its weird because ive got this really wide blue wire and it wont fit with the dvd (got it with my mobo) so im a little worried...
something like this:
so basicly this is my dvd http://atf.ee/arvutikomponendid/optilised_seadmed/samsung_shs223cbebe_black_sata_oem/
and my mobo http://atf.ee/arvutikomponendid/emaplaadid/emaplaadid_amd/gigabyte_gama78lmts2/

ur very smart!one last question tho on the other side of my cable there's HDD so i connect the other side to my hard drive then ?? or motherboard??
One device on each cable. If you have a SATA harddrive and a SATA DVD drive you use a cable on each, then plug them into the SATA ports on the motherboard. You will need two cables.

It doesn't matter which side goes where, but for this example the HDD side goes to your DVD drive, and then the other end plugs into your motherboard.ty so much for ur help!

The other wide old grey cable is for ide drives but you wont need it if youre using sata drives.
