    does it play any disks

    at first thought it would appear to me that the drive is faulty

    does it try to spin up the disk and read it or does it just close and nothing happen, the light should light up on the drive and it should wirr a few times

    ensure you have it set correctly as a master or slave

    ideally it would prefer to be on secondary master but it shouldnt make too much difference

    just check those things and post back

    check that the burner you bought is setup tp play DVD-RAM discs. Thats the format that the disc is BEFORE it is finalized. If you are using a dvd-r mini then it will allow you to finalize it and play it and manipulate and everything.

    I suspect your old one just wasnt fussy about the format and the new one is.
