well the wire that is connected to your mobo is the SATA cable or IDE if it's an older system, you should have a MOLEX or a SATA power connector on your PSU, so hook that up to the DVD drive and it should work.

Um, there should be two cables coming out of the Cd drive, One SATA cable and one power SATA cable that comes from the Psu. The should look like this.

SATA on left, SATA Power on right.

 

I'm not sure if thats the problem or not, Hope it helps.
