This should be a training video for everyone who makes instructional videos. Clearly articulated, a minimum of irrelevant content, and good visuals. Well done and very helpful. Thank you.
Now I can finally watch my old shrek DVD’s
lmao that's cool
But it's my old Cars DVDs for me

Somebody wanna told me the world is gonna roll me 🎵
for me it's being able to burn my discs. Also u can feel free to watch my tutorial if you want
You should make amazing videos not only computers. Man you have a rare voice
@ONE NATION
Is true, a good voice make the video more enjoyable
This was so helpful! i just found out that you could install your own cd rom on prebuilt computer and this helped so much! I would recommend over other tutorials(?)
this is an amazing video it was both funny and informative thanks
I don't see how it was funny, but ok.
I usually don't comment but man ohh man I ly thanks the tutorial was super simple!!
Ta nice and easy video to check if things have changed since I last did one, and it had, with the blue-ray cable to board position
Hi! I found your tutorial after trawling through Google and I love how easy to understand it is! I have a question regarding the SATA cables. My disc drive is a bluray drive and it didn't come with any cables, just the drive itself. In the tutorial you have two SATA cables it looks like that you plug in but only one of them goes to the motherboard - did you plug the other one into the PC power supply? I asked a tech friend of mine who confused me with a lot of things and said that I would need loads of different items in order to install it 😅 I'm glad that isn't the case!
This helped a lot! Thank you!
Concise!!!!! Thank you for helping me and not goofing off.
Help!! I've lost a cd in my Dell XPS8930..the tray comes out but not the CD. Is there a half way decent way to get into that optical drive on this model in order to retrieve that CD?
That case design is pretty clever by emachines [for the hidden optical drive]
That was my exact pc until I upgraded.😞RIP EMACHINES
I have an xps tower and it looks like I'll have an extra step cause there's metal where I'd unplug the drive cords
Do you need a optic board placed into the modem in order to connect fiber optic to the wifi
I have an ASUS Blueray player to install but CANNOT find a female SATA power cable to PSU cable anywhere, very frustrating!
Is it OK to share the same power cable with another device. For example, I have a sata power cable connected to a SSD. It has multi connectors on it so I used one for power to the optical drive. Is there any danger of overloading the cable with too many devices connected?
SATA connectors can only be used to plug in a single HDD, SSD or OD (optical drive) at a time. However, those multi connectors you're talking about are actually single connectors drawing their own individual amounts of power, all just sharing the same cable leading to the PSU.
So the short answer is yes, you can plug in as many devices as you want with all of those SATA connectors!
@@Torqcx Thanks!
Helped quite a bit, thanks!
Would it be possible to install an OLD disc drive in a more modern pc?
As long as it uses SATA connectors, yes, it should work!
Disc drives and storage drives use the same SATA ports?
Yes, the exact same ones, both connecting to the motherboard and power supply! :)
Does this work for games
In order to connect the desktop to the wifi
Question, I have an optical drive in my pc but I’m getting a hard drive, can I disconnect the cables from the optical drive and use them for a hard drive
Yes, you certainly can, as long as you don't mind having an inoperable optical drive!
Torqcx Max's Tech Ok thx, I really have no use for it because I’ll be adding a hard drive to my new pc( bought it used) since it only came with 64 gb ssd
@@kruelxd6966 Yikes! that's small!
AT music yeah I keep deleting stuff bc I’ve had 5 Gb of free space for weeks
@@kruelxd6966 How much room is left just from installing the Operating System alone?
Hey. Im using my old laptop dvd drive... would it be able to work if I use the power supply cable?
It should be fine, just make sure you get a SATA connector so it can also plug into the motherboard.
@@Torqcx thanks man💪🏼I will do so
YES FINALLY I can play some fs13 titanium edition
My asus dvd is 3 or 5 yrs old...i only see one red sata cable attaced to it from the sata PORT...AM I MISSING ANOTHER CABLE? You show 2. Where would that second one come from....the power supply?
Yes, it sounds like the other port needs to be occupied by a SATA power connector from the power supply. The red cable that you see already attached to the drive would connect to the motherboard.
So, you don't need to connect an HD audio cable to go to the sound board like back in the day anymore? Sounds just automatically appear when trying to watch a Blu-Ray movie? Not sarcastic, simply stupid since I haven't built a PC since 2006. Thank you.
I've never worked with an optical drive that required that before (guess I'm not old enough), but yes, modern optical drives only need to be plugged in with the SATA connectors!
@@Torqcx Thank you very much!! Will be subscribing to you now.
Help I’m in windows but I can’t find it
Ensure the power SATA cable and the data transfer SATA cable are connected firmly, then head into the Disk Management in Windows and see if you can find the optical drive in there. If you can't, either you have a bad SATA connector or the device is broken.
Torqcx no it’s ok I just needed to restart my pc

you know of any good cases for optical drives?
Corsair Obsidian 750D. Its a large case, but has 3x 5.25" drive bays.
thanks bro
I previously had two cd/dvd IDE drives in my Dell 9150 computer. I am clueless on the jumper Master/Slave/Cable Select settings. The computer also has a regular hard drive. HOw do I set up the computer so it boots up again with CD/DVD drives correctly set up. - Clueless in San Diego..... (BTW, your video and your voice over work is great. What microphone are you using?)
With modern SATA drives, master/slave/jumper settings should not even be in the question and left alone; it's all automated by the motherboard now. However, if you're still using IDE drives and/or SATA drives that still need to use them, you'd have to specifically read the manuals of those models (sometimes they're labeled directly on them). Basically, the only drive you'd want on master would be whichever one has the operating system on it; everything else should be set to slave.
Thank you, it's appreciated. I use a Blue Yeti, basically the best USB mic you can get for the money.
Curious on the cable hookup for a blu-Ray/dvd combo optical drive? I’m New to computers and I want to add an optical drive that can play blu-rays and dvds cuz I have a big library (I like physical copies of movies; it’s fun to collect) of movies that would be pretty cool to watch on my desktop that I’m going to build soon. What cables are necessary to hook it all up is all I’d like to know.
From what I've researched, Blu-Ray players have the exact same interface as any modern optical drive (SATA). So the short answer would be that it would install the exact same way as shown in this video. :)
Torqcx ahhh ok awesome. Well that makes things easier lol thanks for the quick response! Like some other comment said, you should definitely make some tutorials cuz you enunciate clearly and flows lol like the ancient aliens narrator! Or Bill Nye the science guy! Since I’m(and others)are still new to computers perhaps you could possibly make (if you’d like to obviously) a video of how to hook up all the connectors to a motherboard? Like fans, 24pin, USB’s, optical drives! Lol thanks again for the response! I appreciate the help!
@@BboyIllusi0n thank you, that means a lot. :) I plan on doing a motherboard video soon, once I get a new one to replace for my PC.
Torqcx Torqcx you’re welcome! That sounds great! Subscribed and I’ll be looking forward to that video! Also, you mentioned that once you install the optical drive you don’t need any drivers or anything but on windows 10 I think it might not work and here’s why. My laptop has windows 10, 7th gen i7, OS on SSD, etc and I had to get an external LG optical drive for some software but it wouldn’t let me watch my physical copy DVD’s. It said I had to download an app in order to get it work but none are free lol. And windows media player wouldn’t work either haha maybe it’s something you could address in another video 👌🏽
@@BboyIllusi0n that's odd, but that is a W10 notebook, not a desktop, and you're using an external USB optical drive I take it? Maybe in that case yes, it would require additional software.
No body has a retaining clip?
Thanks man.
I'm thinking of getting a Asus Prime z790 P Wi-Fi ATX motherboard it has 0 mSATA slots and (4) SATA slots. Will I be able to connect my DVD player?
If it's an internal DVD player like the one shown in this video with a SATA interface, then yes, I don't see why that wouldn't work.
@Torqcx Awesome thanks! I shorted my pc so need to replace CPU & MB. I can manage the rebuild, ans I own a legit copy if Win 10 pro, but I don't know how to get all the parts to "talk". When I buy a pre-made PC (last time was 2011 so things might have changed), but, they give you a CD with all the software, drivers & "configuration" & that's the biggest difficulty I'm having. I want to rebuild it myself but I don't know how to get everything to talk without the pre-made CD. If you made a video on that that would be awesome!
@@scienzchic1807All of the components should be able to communicate with each other as long as all the hardware's compatible, functioning correctly, and installed properly.
@Torqcx OK that gives me confidence. I really want to attempt this. You rock! Thanks for the great video too. Very helpful.
hey what if my pc doesn't have an optical drive slot where could I put it?
Then the short answer is there's nowhere you can put the optical drive. If you need to read a CD/DVD, there are external optical drives that connect via USB you can get ahold of.
Can I dvd drive power connector for hard drive. Pc i5 tower. My power supply have two sata power connector other connector are id. And I used for hard drive id to sata connector . My hard drive burn
Optical drives and hard/solid state drives use the exact same types of power connectors, whether they be SATA or IDE, so yes!
@@Torqcx I have two power connector sata one I use for dvd other for hard drive but some time blue screen on start of computer. When I restart pc do not make any blue screen.
thanks bro
thanks for your help
Thanks
Whaaaat? Why do you have remove all those sides?
Thank you.
Question: I'm attempting to use a 250Gb Samsung 860 Evo SSD and a 1TB Seagate HDD on my browser to gaming computer conversion. Is it still possible to use my Optical Drive?
You can so long as you have enough SATA ports available, yes.
@@Torqcx I would need three?
@@atmusic9694 yes!
My cabinet chiptronex gx 2000 where i install this?
From searching around online for a few minutes, it looks like that case has a couple of 5.25'' bays on the top just like the case shown in this video. I suppose that's where you'd install an optical drive.
Wheres the io shield for the motherboard?
It was missing on this system
Hi Torqcx. I just installed a DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Burner with the help of your tutorial. Everything seems to work fine, except when I look in the Device Manager it's showing up as a CD Rom Drive instead of a DVD drive. Did I do something wrong?
Does it work as a DVD drive? If so, that may just be the way it is labelled.
You forgot audio cable
I'm wishing that I will get a Desktop Computer with 2 to 3 Internet DVD Drives and 250 to 500GB of Hard Disk Windows 8.1 or 10 or a NEC Computer capable having 2 Internal DVD Optical Drives
Scary to do it
Ah... this is what i searched for... so it can just be put to use any sata connection on the motherboard... nice... better inform beforehand then be sorry later
Is that CARPET
Your voice is yummy, good sir!
Entendi porra nem uma. Mas tá bom😂😂
Lol, you sound like Babish
He forgot to show how and where to plug in the power.
Reality Matters put it in the slot that lines up
@@KrrakoReal missing the point
Just had a brain blast, try to find the correct a slot Sony can but the motherboard spins can go inside the optical drive
This comment is a year old so idk if you solved this but one end obviously goes to the optical drive, that cable should either be coming from your PSU or would've came with one to plug into it depending on your psu.
@@shinanimedubs1269 I did solve it, even before I wrote my comment.
It was intended as a critiqe of his attention to details.
One should never expect people to understand what is obvious to yourself, just show how it is done !
Hi bro
So I need a software cd to install. Or no need? Just plug and play?
Optical drives are all plug-and-play, my friend!
