-- Posted by Anonymous at 10:27 pm on Feb. 8, 2007 My computer has missing files and I need to reformat it, but when it was being repaired the tech guy messed up my settings or somthing and now my cd drives do not work. One i spilled hot chocolate on so it might not work, but the other was new. How do i connec my cd drives!?!? P{lease help fellow humans -- Posted by anthonykorsen007 at 10:49 pm on Feb. 8, 2007 Open your case, look for a port that looks like this on the motherboard: If there's nothing plugged into it, find whatever cable is loose (should be obvious what kind of jack plugs into a port of that type). Or check the cables on the back of the actual CD drive, it could just be a loose power connector. -- Posted by crushedaffairs at 3:05 pm on Feb. 10, 2007 Just pull out the old one and stick in the new one at the same spot? -- Posted by Anonymous at 12:26 am on Feb. 11, 2007 i think its my settings that dont put it as a drive
