I'm sorry, but you haven't provided enough information to get focused
help. See this link for what you should include in your newsgroup

In the meantime, here are links for troubleshooting optical drive
issues:

And of course you want to check:

1. What changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?
2. Do the drives show up in the BIOS?
