Remove the device from device manager and then shutdown and let windows detect it and reinstall it on boot. One of the driver files may have gotten corrupted -- reinstallation is usually the cure if the drive does not report conflicts in device manager and the devicce still gets power (as in your case).

If the CD ROM is seen during Boot process it is receiving power and being recognised by BIOS. You can do only two things. Replace the IDE Cable that is attached to the CDROM to see if it is defective. If it isnt defective you should purchase a new CD ROM as chances are the CDROM lazer is burnt out and not worth fixing. Good luck
