    I had that same problem, check your cable or power cord going to it first, could be loose or have a short in them...then reboot your computer

      Go into the device manager, and see if it is detected there... Also, which operating system are you using? Have you scanned for viruses?

            Right click on my computer and select
            properties>hardware>device manager and look for cdrom drives.

              I didn't mean to jump in Flame but you went off the list.
              BTW, does your mother still have worms?  :D
