SATA DVD Drive Not Detected In BIOS?

Just finished my first computer build and everything booted up fine until i got to bios, i tried to change the boot option to my SATA DVD Drive but oddly the motherboard can't detect it. The DVD Drive lights up and opens and closes fine but it's not being detected. I tried to switch ports on the motherboard but it still doesn't work.

Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B85M-DS3H (Rev 3.0)
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 (With Stock Cooler)
GPU: EVGA GTX 650 2GB GDDR5
PSU: Antec VP450
RAM: PNY Xlr8 8GB (4x2) 1600Mhz 1.65V

Everything is brand new except for the PSU and GPU.
 
I would check the SATA port (i.e. plug cable into different port on mobo). If that doesn't work, I'd swap SATA cables. If that doesn't work, I'd buy a new drive or RMA it -- I replaced my old IDE DVD with an SATA DVD for like $20. If that doesn't work, I'd plug something else into the SATA ports and see if they work.

Opening and closing should just mean that it powers on and the switch plus motor work.
