SATA and power cables are firmly plugged in?
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:45:28.000Z
the SATA was, but my friend at the computer store said I didn't need anything else?
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:46:17.000Z
Not sepeare from what's in your system, but you'll definitely need to hook it up to your PSU
MOVED

hrmm

There will be a bunch of cables that come out of your power supply. Usually there's several free SATA power cables
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:47:45.000Z
yeah, I got that
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:47:54.000Z
And I plugged one of the SATAs in
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:48:58.000Z
Awesome. There should be a second cable too, that connects to the motherboard
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:49:31.000Z
There's one that connects to my other drive, but not a free one
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:49:41.000Z
Uho, there's your problem
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:50:28.000Z
If you put together your own computer, usually there's a bunch of extra cables in with your motherboard
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:50:48.000Z
I thiiiink if you get a drive in a fancy box, they'll include one too
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:51:04.000Z
nope
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:51:06.000Z
All of my drives I get OEM, so they're basically just a drive in a plastic bag
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:51:07.000Z
no fancy box
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:51:14.000Z
Yush
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:51:15.000Z
yeah that's how i got mine
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:51:59.000Z
Yeah, you're going to need to hit up a computer store and just get a basic SATA cable
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:52:31.000Z
Best Buy and the like will carry them, but they're usually way cheaper at small computer parts stores
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:52:43.000Z
ohhhhh
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:52:58.000Z
(or hit up your friend at the store and see if you can snag one for free)
MOVED

images17.newegg.com/is/i... this is what you mean right
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:53:19.000Z
Bingo!
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:53:53.000Z
Sometimes one of the ends will have a right-angle plug, but that's definitely it
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:54:17.000Z
see when he said sata, i thought he meant - i guess it's the power?
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:54:20.000Z
cuz it says sata on it
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:54:29.000Z
one end into your drive, the other will hook into your motherboard (there's probably an empty plug near where your existing drives are plugged in)
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:54:52.000Z
Yeah, it can be a bit confusing
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:55:07.000Z
Okay I think I get it now
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:55:09.000Z
THANK YOU ;;

I unhooked my other cd drive and plugged it in but apparently i need software to play blu-rays which
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:55:42.000Z
idfk
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:55:46.000Z
If you aren't sure what to do when you get your cable, ping me
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:55:58.000Z
i will
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:56:13.000Z
Yeah there's some you can download, just poke around
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:56:32.000Z
I think .... what's that one with the security cone for an icon
MOVED
2013-12-29T21:56:56.000Z
vlc?
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:57:15.000Z
Yes! iirc, that one will play DVDs and Blu-rays
Ruru
2013-12-29T21:59:21.000Z
For encrypted blurays, this seems recommended
MOVED
2013-12-29T22:01:52.000Z
i'll give it a shot
MOVED
2013-12-29T22:10:38.000Z
VLC isn't working, so I'll have to go get the SATA tomorrow and see if I can't pick up some decent software or sth
