Hello everyone,
I got a software program from school that I need to install from a CD. Havent used my optical drive for a while and found out it isnt reading the discs anymore.
So I went to a local computer store and bought another drive and found out the connector on the back is different from my old one, so I'm hoping it's as simple as getting a new cable for it.
It's a pretty old system, the motherboard is an Asus pk5pl-cm.
Here is a picture of my old drive.
and the new drive
I'm hoping it will work with the motherboard I have. Is the cable needed something that might have come with the motherboard? I still have its original box with whatever is left inside up in my attic...
