CD-ROM not being seen by Windows

Greetings.

I'm working with an older Dell system running on Windows ME. Windows refuses to recognize that there is a CD-ROM drive connected to the PC. There is nothing in the Device Manager. The drive itself is definitely getting power (lights flash, opens/closes, ETC), and I reseated the connection it had to the motherboard last night.

I'm drawing a blank on what the problem could be. I'm sure its something simple I've overlooked.

Thank you for your time and help in resolving this.

Ok, the CD rom drive is on the boot menu.

The cable that hooks the CD rom to the motherboard is also hooked up to a CD-RW drive (its an older system >.>). Neither work.
