I should have said that the connectors on the case are as follows:
+5V
-5V
+D
-D
GND
GND
GND with 2 wires going into it.
I know that there are 3 more connectors but I need the pc up to send
this. I guess what it boils down to is are the D connectors the USB
connector?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

D = Data.

The header on the board is for two USB sockets; the list you've given is for
one and a bit.

On the pin outs, I've listed P5 and P6; these are the two USB ports, each
having a + and - input. So connect +D to P5+, and -D to P5-.

If you're lucky, the other 3 connectors may include another pair of +D
and -D. If so, connect the second set as +D to P6+ and -D to P6-

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Pete.
