DVD Drive read as removable device in BIOS, etc problems!

[Draza~]

So my DVD Drive is put in just fine, power and IDE cable. All fine but for some reason one day its read as a removable device in the bios. So I tried to boot off it, nothing happens so I went into Windows, says theres a CD/DVD Drive. Acts like nothing is in even though a Windows CD is in. So it cant read CD/DVDS and i cant boot off it. Anyone know the problem, id like to install some shit.
Extra info: YES ITS ON THE RIGHT ENDS, ITS ON MASTER AND THE MASTER END PLUG IS PLUGGED INTO IT. So thats right...

Please help!

It's a hardware problem, try different cords/connectors and a different cd-drive altogether.
After that it's the motherboards fault.

Oh actually, try clearing your CMOS first.

Tried 2 different IDE cords before, nothing.
Tried different drives before, I got plenty and no results.
Tried resetting the BIOS 3 different ways, all did not work. Battery, CMOS pins and setup defaults in bios. Nothing worked.

Then it's your motherboard, i don't think you can fix that by tinkering. You need to buy a new one if you want a cd drive, or buy a usb cd-drive. You can still boot off disks with those.
