When you say restart do you mean do a warm boot? Or are you starting cold?

Have you tried clearing the CMOS?

I have cleared teh CMOS i nte last couple of days, However that did not fix the issue.

IF the computer is off and i cold boot it loads up no problem, The problem comes when I do a restart or warm boot.
The CDRom and DVD drives get dropped off.

Do you have a spare IDE cable that you can try?
