Step one - put in the old CD drive - does IT still work OK ?
Can you see it in BIOS ?
If not try it as a slave off the disk cable ( in case you blew something on
motherboard)
If that works, boot windows.
Load the drivers for the new one into Windows.

This is a new CD drive right ? not a DVD ? ( Does BIOS know DVD) Do you
have latest BIOS ?
