bios won't recognize cd-rom

[parallax]

I just recently bought a barebones kit. When I put my CD-RW from my previous computer in to the barebones kit, the BIOS won't recognize the CD-RW!!! Without the CD drive, I can do nothing. Could somebody PLEASE help me.

Are you jumpered and cabled correctly?? Did you go into the BIOS and set that IDE channel to detect a cdrom?? Only other thing that comes to my mind if U R sure the drive is good is to be sure that ide channel is enabled in the BIOS also, but they usually are by default..
