All lights are in even before bios

[neo_wraith]

My 3.5 and my DVD-ROM RW is constantly on even before bios comes up. I go into Bios it sees my harddrive, and my 3.5, but does not see my DVD-ROM Drive.  The Rom will not respond to eject or anthing else.  My harddrive light is always on, no flicker, same with the 3.5 and DVD-ROM.  Can anyone help me figure this one out.  I have built many computers, but this is the first time I have run into this.  I am thinking I did not place a cable on right or maybe my jumpers on  the motherboard are not configured properly.  Any help would be great!!! Thanks.

Wraith:

Reversing the data cable on a floppy drive will cause the drive's light to always stay on.

Leaving a DVD or CD in a DVD drive may cause the light to always stay on to let you know there is a disk in the drive.  Try using a paper clip to manually open the drive door by sticking it in the pin hole available for that purpose.
