If you know how to check the bios have a look in there to see if it's listed...if it isn't then maybe the unit is broken...it also might be that the thing will work if you remove it from the laptop then reseat it...there should be some sort of locking screw holding it in.....you might have to lift a cover up or something like that....all you do is take it out then push it back in and go from there...

like i already said...check the bios first to see if it's listed....when u startup the laptop hit the following keys one after the other until the bios appears... F1, F2, Del (dunno which one fires up the bios on ur lappy)...once in it's menu driven...u should see ur hard drive and optical drive listed...if it's not listed then that's ur start point (ie drive may be fvcked)....press F10 to exit.
