i installed a DVD RW from an old computer into my new computer but the computer wont recognise it and an error message appears when i start up the computer. in the old computer 3 cables were attached to it and i can only attach 2 in the new computer. any help would be greatly appreciated and i am really struggling to get it working.

Jump to PostI assume the one that you couldn't plug in was a 4 pin slim cable.
If so don't worry about it.

You can try to Clean the inside by Blowing …
Jump to Postthe Lens may still be dirty, either blow more or to completely clean it out. Or give up on it and get another drive. Which is what I do.
