First of all your computer is not seeing your cd drive as a floppy disk drive.  You have an option in your BIOS set that you have a floppy drive.  (PRESS F1 or the DEL key just as your computer powers on to get into bios and change it.)  Second, I would check the Master/Slave settings on both hard drives and your cd drive (the pins to jumper are located right by the spot you plug in the IDE cable).  Your first hard drive should be set so that the jumper is in the master setting, the second hard drive should be set to the slave setting.  Your cd drive should be set to the Master setting.More people can help you if you make it clear what computer you have, have you modified it, and when did this start to happen.
Why are you sure that you did not have a hardware failure?
If the thing had been working, what did you change?
Why did you set your CD-Drive to Master?
Or do you mean it was always set that way.
We don't know for sure if you CD is a PATA or SATA interface.
We superpose it is a PATA.
How does the floppy get into this?
Have you recently installed strange software?
Have you been poking around in the registry?
Many here want to help you, but need a clear explanation of what is going on.
To have a CD Drive become a Floppy Drive is one we have never heard of!
