OK I get it you need the CDROM to be recognized.
Check the cable connection it may look connected but it may not be
properly. Also check the power connections.
Swap out power connections if possible. Also if after you check the
cables and verify they are all properly seated and connected. Swap
out with a new one.
I know sounds too simple to be true but I have had cables that looked
good but just failed. Also the cable may not be on all the way but
look attached.
Also make sure the BIOS sees it and registers it as a device. It
should be the first master device.
If all that fails it may have gone bad. (I know last resort)

The drive was fine before I disconnected the data cable so, I know
the problem isn't related to SCSI.
