toshiba laptop won't recognise dvd drive

hi
my toshiba satellite 1000-Z2 will not recognise my DVD/CD-RW combi drive. it did work when i first installed it, but after restarting it, it did not appear anywhere.
I reformatted, and it still cannot find it.....

it is a TEAC DW-224E DVD/CD-RW Drive, and a Toshiba Satellite 1000-Z2 laptop

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Paddyslammer,

Have you looked in the bios setup to make sure the drive is recognized?

Hi Liam,

Try checking your connections. They may have come loose. Notebook connections are sometimes a pain to get connected properly with the tight workspace.
