CD/DVD drives stopped working! Help please!

Element - another user had the DVD disappear on him when he reverted to default settings, and it changed the SATA mode from AHCI to IDE - he just figured this out, b/c he went tooling around in the BIOS and saw that it had been changed - so he changed it back - and the DVD is showing up in Windows again.

Perhaps the same happened with you?
