Starting with possible software problems :
I was wondering if you had enabled the parental controls in your player software and killed DVD playback altogether.
Is DVD playback disabled in drive Properties for the 'D' drive ( right click on the drive in My Computer>Properties.), the "Take no Action" choice depending on what media is in the drive?

When you check Device Manager is DMA enabled, any yellow question marks by either the drive or the IDE connector?

Hardware :
The drive is getting power and playing CDs but if the 40 wire cable is at fault that could account for the non-response with DVDs.
Worth checking after you make sure the software is in order.
