Hey guys, so I just replaced my motherboard, among other components, in my somewhat old gaming rig.
My problem is my DVD reader/writer which I was planning to use to reinstall OS onto a new HDD was connected to the old motherboard via a cable that the new motherboard has no plug for. Sortof a big thing, flat cable going from back of dvd drive to the motherboard near the 24 pin connector, new motherboard does not have this plug socket at all, the dvd drive has other open plug spots on the back of it, i am wondering if there is a newer type of cable i can buy which i can use to hook up the dvd drive to the motherboard... or did i screw up and just get a motherbaord that doesnt have the ability to use a dvd drive? ? ?
Here is my new motherboard:
