Windows stopped detecting my DVD drive

[Unfocused]

Today I noticed that the only DVD drive shown in My Computer is the virtual one, created by Deamon Tools. My physical DVD drive is not there, even though I haven't messed with any related settings recently. Everything was working fine a few days ago, when I last had to use my DVD drive.

Looks like it's a software problem, cause the drive shows up in BIOS and is detected by Windows installed on my other HDD (plugged into the same PC, I just set it temporarily as "master").

I've no idea how to make my current Windows detect the drive again - I've tried running the hardware detection wizard (or whatever the name is) and it found no "new" hardware.

Any help will be appreciated.

Nvm, the secondary IDE channel was turned off for some reason. Now it works.
