D Drive/CD Rom not showing up.

Yeah the title says it all. I recently installed another 512mb kingston ddr 2700 memory into my machine and that makes it 1gig of memory. Ever since i did that, my D drive, which was my cd rom drive does not show up. its like its not reading now. The cd rom drive opens and closes but it doesnt read anything that goes into it. Programs that will start up when you put it in the cd rom doesnt even start.(this goes with both of the cd rom drives i have used) I have switched out 2 cd rom drives and the same problem is still there. My whole computer works fine, its just my cd rom drive is not showing up.

Any suggestions?

close down the tower then turn off the power, remove the battie inside the tower (mother broad) let it set for 5min, then put the battier back in turn the power on. this will reset the Bois settings

If that dont work check all of your cables that are connected to the Cd drive

(To and from it That means the cables that go to the motherboard also)

you swapped cd crives and it still remained missing?

sounds like it's not connected to the mobo.
