I was trying to install a new harddrive as my computers original hard drive broke down.  I put in the harddrive and then attached all the wiring to allow for the desktop to work, however when i turned the comp. on and then clicked on eject button in the dvd rom, it would not open.  So then I opened the computer up in order to see what was the problem, and behold there was this yellow wire with a white attacher disconnected and yet wired from the dvd rom main wire, it was labeled p8.  Where does it go?  I couldn't find any place for it.
