What kind of DVD drive are you using? IDE or SATA?
If you are using IDE & you are connecting two devices, be sure to set the device connected next to the Mainboard to be "Slave" and the outter one to be "Master" - having a wrong setup or using Cable Select mode caused my devices not to be identified by NForceATA driver in my case...
