Not only is it a separate slave drive or just a partition on the same disk but, have any of the letters for your other drives changed? We kinda need this info in order to be able to give you the PROPER instructions to fix your problem.
However, by reading your question, carefully, I'm wondering if your cd drive was being called "D" drive. If it that's the case and it continues not to read cds you put in it, you may have to take your puter into the shop and have the connections on the hardware checked as well as the reader on the cd-rom drive itself.

Try seeing if its in the device manager, if not try searching for nerw hardware and see if it finds it. check your bios and see if it recognizes it there, try a different ide cable. forget you ever had a d drive and move on with your life. these and suggestions and many more can be found by searching your inner mind.

Try un-installing the drive & then re-installing it
Windows will pick it up again...
Hope this helps

Maybe you just have to wait or try several times before ti will show up on your list.
