Are you using Parallel ATA? Are both connectors used on the PATA cable? Have you checked the jumper configuration of PATA devices? etc.

Unfortunately, your post is totally unclear and lacks some info. So folks are prolly unwilling to guess what you mean.
I know I'm not gonna guess.
Make a clear post, including is this a new build? was the CD-drive ever working? If so, what changed? What are your system specs including make and model?
Having said that, sub mesa is prolly on the right track.
