I think it's more likely that it's just not detecting the CD drive at all for whatever reason. I would check the BIOS initially. Also the BIOS could have been set to think there is a Floppy drive when there isn't. This could have happened if your BIOS was reset to factory settings.

Disable the Floppy search function in the BIOS,

then look on the back of ur CD drive and check to make sure it is set to slave (jumpers on thed back of the drive), then make sure the HDD connected to the same cable is set to Master (jumpers on the back of the drive).

this should correct ur problem.
