SOLVED DVD-RW gone after installing 3 new hard drives

[Frank54324]

Hi I have lost access to my DVD drive after installing 3 hard drives and I also have an error on start up.

The error is "Windows failed to start" A recent hardware or software change might be the cause,
If windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly. Sthartup repair can help diagnose and fix problem. If power was interrupted during startup, choose start windows normally"

I do not know how to proceed, I cannot use the start up and repair diagnose tool on start up, so I have to boot normally even though I know this is not the correct way. I cannot access my DVD-RW drive either I am not sure what happened to it.
Right now my D drive has turned into a local drive and I don't know how to get it back to DVD-RW with my hardware
THIS IS THE DVD-RW

The biggest issue right now is how do i get my DVD-RW back.

Well for starters check for loose connections internally. Make sure the CDRom has power connected and has a SATA cable connected that runs to the motherboard.

Then boot up to the BIOS and see what devices it detects. Does it see the HDs? DVDRom? Then save the BIOS settings and exit.

This problem was solved the minute I realized i don't need four hard drives. I moved the two power cables for the SATA memory back from around the hard drive area and connected one of them to a CD ROM.

What boggles my mind is I don't know how I managed to get the CD ROM to work in the first place, because I never had SATA power to it for along time when I was only using one hard drive. I only had the sata memory connector hooked up not power to the CD/RW/ROM if that makes sense. So I don't know how it knew and how when I reconfigured for 4 hard drives it did not like it.
