hi friend

all of the OS used in today r auto detection feature means Plug n Play

for

keyboard, mouse, monitor, cd drive, hdd etc

if they installed properly

to solve u r problem
1. open the cd drive from cabinet
2. check for jumper setting (if u r hdd is p.m then change it to s.m)
3. install it. if it not detect chande u r datacable
4. this time it must detect....

While booting go to bios and check whether ur cd rom drive is disabled.. if yes enable it
