    Guys, I just recently bought a DVD burner, its LG GH20 Super Multi DVD Rewriter. And when I was installing it I found out that its connected by SATA (Serial ATA), the problem is the cables in my system unit are all Parallel ATA.
    Is there a way to connect this to my computer? by a adapter maybe? or should I return it to the shop and ask for some other model?

    Please help.

    Here's my LG DVD Drive:

    Here's the back of the DVD Drive:

    And here's the cable (Parallel ATA) that my System unit has:

    You can get an adapter, but you're better off taking it back and asking for an ATAPI (PATA) DVD Burner.
