1 :

In the BIOS where you configure the interface for the CDROM :

Have you selected 'Auto' ? - If so try setting it specifically to 'CDROM'

2 :

Is your CDROM on a Primary or Secondary channel ?

Does your BIOS give you a choice between :

'Primary P-ATA+S-ATA' for Primary Parallel ATA and Serial ATA ports.

and

'Secondary P-ATA+S-ATA' for Secondary Parallel ATA and Serial ATA ports.

IF so select according to the connection used for your CDROM drive.
