floppy data cable, or floppy power?
where is the floppy connected to, the motherboard & your floppy only?

Doesn't make sense: different connectors.

Just plug a power connector in the fucking unit! The one that was in your cd burner ( you should be able to keep it as a 2nd drive). Make sure your DVD burner is set as slave ( as probably was your cd burner).

Or get a friend to do it. I would if I was in your neighborhood, but I doubt it...

did you line up the red strip on the cable, with pin 1 (marked on the connector) on the DVD burner?

what is your power supply? I had a machine that I had to upgrade the P/S in for that same reason. It wouldn't boot up after I put my new vid card in, I had both my cd burner and DVD burner hooked up as well.. However if I unhooked either of the drives it would boot..

I bought a 500w power supply and everything works fine now
