There might be a missing driver after you installed Windows 8. Go to your device manager and check if there is a missing driver that you need to install to be able to use the CD/DVD ROM again. Or if you have the driver with you, please install it. Or try to switch your SATA ports and insert any disk on your CD/DVD drive and see if it works.
