As long as the CD-Rom's ribbon cable and power cord are tighly fit into place, there should be no problems. Double-check to make sure. It might be an Operating System problem too. Or, perhaps you just have a dead, obsolete CD-ROM drive.

To me it sounds like you have installed a new CDRom, if this is the case then check to see if it is set up as Master or Slave. Do this by checking the back of the CDRom drive, there is a little jumper back there check to see what setting it is on (you may want to read the instructions that came with the drive). FYI You can not have two drives on Master or two drives on Slaves.
The other thing you may want to check is the CMOS settings. Do this by restarting the computer and you should see an option come up on the screen press F2 or Delete or F10, every computer is different so watch carefuly. When you get in to the CMOS look around for your drive setups, if you can have them set to auto and save the settings.
