This problem is all about (E)IDE/ATA, and nothing else. Your description
above indicates the DVD/CD drive is set to be a SLAVE. To be detected as
the only device on the secondary controller, it must be set to be a
MASTER. There is usually a jumper on the back of the drive near the IDE
connector to set the drive as MASTER or SLAVE.
