Re: DVD-Multi problem
Ok, so how do you tell? The connector inside my laptop and the dvd are the same. So I assume the sata and pata are identical? How could you tell it's pata, the part number?
Re: DVD-Multi problem
UMMM..... the red circle and arrows...That extra pin is only on the SATA drives.

Re: DVD-Multi problem
Ooh, ok. Seen the extra pin, but didn't know it was only on the satas. I looked inside the laptop slot and it has holes for the two pins that mine has plus one more off to the side. So you can put a pata drive into a sata pc but not the other way around. I'm learning... Thanks!Shawn wrote:UMMM..... the red circle and arrows...That extra pin is only on the SATA drives.
