Look at the back of your cdrom ther should be a jumper set it to master if it is on its own ide.
Enter into your bios and make sure it it set to auto detect the drives.

if you added a dvd burner is it by it;s self or do you also have a cdrw ? if it's single check the jumper and change it to master , if it's not the cd player needs to be the master and the dvdrw to slave
