You must have installed Windows 7 64 using that drive, unless you have another DVD drive.
Also, seeing I am not sure how your SATA setup is, your Drive probably is there, but just hidden.

Check in Control Panel, Folder Options
Unclick 'Hide Empty drives in the Computer Folder' if it has a check mark in it

If that is not the case, then go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Under Storage, Click on Disk Management

See if your drive shows up there and has a Letter assigned.
Another option is to click on Device Manager also, and see if its listed there.
