Are you referring to hard drives or optical drives? SATA or IDE?

First, check the device manager for device conflicts. Yellow ! next to devices.
Second, make sure the cables are snug.

You can either:

uninstall the devices in device manager and restart
or
right click on the drives, properties, and update drivers
