First try removing all the IDE controllers in device manager. Then reboot. See if they're configured right then. If that doesn't do it try installing a chipset driver update.
Did you install or uninstall any software or hardware prior to having the problem?
The missing cdrom is due to the problem with the controllers. When that's fixed your cdrom should show up again.
