Check the power and data cables. Then check the drive in another computer.

also check jumpers on the drive, make sure it is set up right. Usually it should be set to Cable select.

If you have two drives on one IDE cable, one should be set as master and the other as slave. If the driveis single then there often is a 'single' setting on the drives label.

Hey, guys. The title of this thread is:
"Computer is not recognize the sata DVD ROM".

If rfnadeem does not have a hardware problem, he has some sort of motherboard/BIOS configuration problem.

One of the basic rules of troubleshooting is to check the simple sh..., err, stuff first. Pulling the drive and testing it in another computer is simpler, if not easier (the two are not the same), than trying to sort out a configuration problem with a questionable drive.

This leads me to believe it's actually a typo in the thread title, not a SATA drive at all. Which is why we are offering advice related to those devices.

When I googled the issue, I read multiple replies suggesting to switch the jumpers on one drive from cable select to either master or slave, even if there is only one device on the IDE. Also, if you had two IDE channels (supporting up to 4 devices) and you had 1 device on each channel, if one device was on cable select and the other was on master or slave, they both have to use the same convention to work ie CS-CS or m/s - m/s.
