Default Missing CD Rom

Probably nothing!

Boot to Safe Mode - open Device Manager, and look in there for glitches
Remove ALL error-flagged items
remove ALL CD?DVD drives
reboot to Normal mode
post back with results

I've been messing around with an old computer and decided to upgrade the
operating system to Windows Me from Win 98se. The upgrade seemed to go
just
fine until I got back to the desk top after the upgrade was complete. In
checking "My Computer" I found that the floppy "A" and Hard Drive "C" were
present, but the CD Rom drive was missing and when I put a disk in to read
it, it would not function. This is the same drive I used to do the
upgrade.
When I check the BIOS the drive is listed. What did I do wrong?
