	IDE cable www.newegg.com has them. <EDIT> Vision, you bastard. Beat me to it. If you don't want to order online, just go to Best buy or shudderCompUSA and ask for IDE cable. Edited by PlentifulBalls

	Ok good they should have them at Bestbuy. I just got a new game Brothers In Arms, and didnt realize it uses a DVD disk instead of a CD. So i have to take out the DVD drive from my other computer. Thanks for the help guys. On last question I think, are there special ones to connect a to cd drives? Edited by pntbl freak

	make sure you measure how much cable you need. and the cable you order should a little longer than you need. how much do you need anyway, i've never seen anybody need more than the amount that comes with the hardware.
	Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life. Open my eyes and blind me with your light and your lies.

	^^^^They gave me just enought to get it from the hard drive to the cd drive. But they didnt give me anything to connect the dvd drive up also. I tried switching them, but the connector on the dvd drive is a little higher so it doesnt connect.

	Yup....a 40 pin IDE cable. You can get them that connect to one device or 2. I would go to a local store and ask them. If you bought online, the shipping would probably be more than the cable. Or just ask any of your friends that are into computers for an extra. I know I have 3 laying around my house somewhere.
	Free ipod! Yay!

	Yeah I was going to ask some friends, but they were either working or doing some family stuff. If they dont have one, I am goign to go to Bestbuy tomorrow.

	^^^^ Not what I was talking about. But I figued it out. My mother board only was one IDE connector, and my old Harddrive uses one of the IDE things and my cd drive uses the other.
