Does your motherboard recognize it?

Is your DVD drive connected to the G SATA port? Check if it is and make sure that you have AHCI mode enabled for it.

did it work before? did you install new programs/updates? If so, this may be the cause of your problems. Revert your computer to the original state before and it should work. If It always didn't work, I would recommend making sure you have it attached to a sata 3.0 port. There have been some reports of issues being caused by sata 6.0 ports. ( sata III)
