Its not that difficult if you got it once.
First shut down your computer and pull the power cable for security. Then open your case and look for the dvd drive. There should be 2 cables on it, depending on if it is SATA or IDE either a small red one, and another slightly bigger one, or a very broad cable and a cable consisting of 4 wires (these are harder to pull, do not pull at the wire, but just at the plug and you cant damage anything). Maybe you have to push down some security lock at the plug for that. But dont pull them out yet, follow them to see where they are connected to the mainboard (only one cable goes to the mainboard, the other one to your power supply). Pull out the mainboard one and reconnect it.
Now do the same thing with the plugs on the drive. Be sure that they are connected correctly and tight.
And dont forget to close the case when it works afterwards
