Slim SATA DVD Power

[Goldberg]

All,

I have just got a Slim DVD drive for my new Dual Core Atom set up (Mini-ITX).

The Drive is SATA and is not recognised. I now realise it needs power. This is where I am stumped!!!!

The drive has a SATA Connection, then next to it it has a similar connection but it looks like a mirror image of the SATA??? This is not the same as the connections that you get on a 2.5" SATA HD, it is different!

Does anyone know if there is a cable I can buy for this? I have searched but with no luck. It may be that I have to send it back and get an IDE drive
