Presumably it is a SATA CD/DVD - if so you need to go through the output of dmesg to see if it is detected on one of the SATA lines - possibly grepping for 'ata' should show something. If it's not even seeing it on a SATA line, then there is something strange with the hardware or bios configuration.
windows 10 is listing device as; PLDS DVD-RW DU8A6SH
google search is showing spec is SATA (the cdrom can also be swapped out/replaced with a second SATA HDD)
this is what I see in dmesg;

I'm seeing this from dmidecode; (I'll reboot and look over the BIOS settings) Last I remember being in the BIOS, I don't recall seeing anything that may be an issue.
