are all cables (data and supply power) properly connected to the drive ?
if your board has both ide and sata ports then you may need to set in bios which is in use.
is the master/slave jumper set (in case it's an ide drive) ?

otherwise (if you just replaced the drive using same cables as before) it's probably dead
there is no difference (for the OS) if it's a CD or DVD writer

cheers, Tom

ps: welcome on this board :)
but you should post such questions under 'problem solving' in future... ;)
