You have several optical drives. I assume your other optical drives read the cd's just fine, right? Looks like it may have just gone bad. It happens. Stuff can't last forever. You could try to move the questionable drive to the other IDE channel and see if that makes any diffrence. You could swap the IDE cable too. Make sure the IDE cable is plugged in securely. You may have bumped it during your mods.

PS: You may want to change your sig to link directly to your page like this.

My Aopen 12x DVD is starting to go bad. It's only a year old, but optical drives break. I have to open it and clsoe it a bunch of times just to get it to recognize a cd thats in there. Just go to best buy and buy a $20 cheap cd drive and pop it in. If that fixes your problem you have a bad drive and you're only out $20.

but both drives shouldnt go bad at the same time
