Which connector does your DVD-ROM Drive have? IDE is the old school connector and no new motherboards carry them any longer.

Hi wolf thanks for reply the dvd rom have a ide cable that looks like 18pin connecter could be more,the mobo is a very old mobo it supports 775 socket but on the mobo there is no ide port to connect maybe another way? I can only connect the power to the dvd rom but no ide port on mobo

It would probably be cheaper and easier to just purchase a new SATA DVD-ROM drive... OR... ask yourself if you really need a DVD-ROM drive.

I think the only way to connect the dvd rom to that mobo is getting a IDE to SATA converter
