    Hi guys.

    Bit of a problem. I used to run my cd drive to my PC using the IDE cables.

    I've now discovered that the new motherboard doesn't have an IDE connector anymore.

    So I'm insure how to connect my disc drive to my new mobo. I've attached a picture of my problem.

    A sata dvd drive might work out better, they are not expensive.
