In an unplugged machine: Try another connection on the motherboard with the original cable- if it works then the first connection site is suspect. If not take the cable off of and replace it with a new or known workling one. If it works then the cable went south.. If not then try the device in another PC. It will at least showe up as a CD/DVD ROM on boot. Try another CD/DVD in yours.

Is it enabled in BIOS?
