Do you have a secondary Ide connection port on your motherboard? If you do, get that CD Rom off of the cable that the hard drive is on, and put it on the secondary Ide connection, as a master, if you can.

If you can't, make sure that you set the CD ROM as a slave?

If it still fails to work, in Device Manager, right click on the drive (unknown device), uninstall it, and reboot. See if it shows.
