thanks for bothering.

hope u will help merayer:

Yes that is BIOS.

If BIOS doesn't see it there is no way Windows can.

If BIOS doesn't see it either the drive is bad or the cable is bad or the connection is bad.

If you are comfortable opening the computer try reseating all the connections to the drive. Both at the drive end and the motherboard end.

thanx for helping me but i am not able to connect it
thanx anyways
will u be my friend????

I'd suggest a new drive. DVD/CD RW. They are fairly inexpensive.
