The CD is connected, I see the power connector and the ATA/IDE connector
(The ``Duct tape'' ``wire'') are both in securely.

I'm really quite sure it is clean, and I lost my CD-ROM cleaner. :(

Interestingly, under IDE Devices in "Advanced" in my BIOS settings,
there is no CD-ROM listed. There use to be, however... So the BIOS
doesn't ``see'' it.
