No, check the jumpers on the back. Is it SATA or IDE?
Make sure the jumpers are set to cable select. Is it on a seperate IDE cable from your hard disk? If it is, make sure it is at the end of the cable.

well its not Sata its IDE how do i make sure the jumpers are in the right spots?
On the DVD drive it will have a diagram of what position the jumper should be for master cable-select and slave.
First - Excuse my English.
Normally some software causes a change not allowed in at the registration for the CD / DVD
Just follow the steps to try to restore.
(works with both Windows XP and Vista.)
1 - Create a restore point in the system.
2 - Access the editor of the Windows registry.
3 - Access the value:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Class \ (4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318)
- On the right side of the screen search for:
"Lowerfilter" or "UpperFilter"
(Not always appear the two values, in some cases only 1 of them)
- If you find the values, delete them.
- Close the Registry Editor, open the Device Manager by the panel of controls.
- Remove the CD / DVD drive and restart the system.
- When you restart Windows, the system will reinstall the drives, make sure they return to work.

Obviously this isn't the problem. He JUST installed this DVD drive, why would a program edit the registry of a DVD drive that did not exist. This is a new installation of the DVD drive and it's likely the jumpers like I said. I'm waiting for a response back from him.
