depending on how new your system is or maybe how old, your power supply might not have enough juice to give it power. this was a problem i had before, i just had to buy a new power supply and that solved it.

Right click on my computer --> manage\n\nGo to disk management and post back and let me know if it sees the hard drive.\n\nDo you have any thing on the hard drive ( I know you said it as new ) but if you have any data on there and you wipe it, you will obviously lose it.\n\nAnyway if not then just format it in disk management and it should then appear in windows.\n\nIf thats not the case then please post back with more specific info , ie motherboard make and model.\n\nIf you need help with getting that info post back as well.

you must reinstall ur cd rom driver. if it says on my computer  that there is no cd, reinstall the cd rom driver, if its not working, reinstall windows.

normally all the drivers required are installed on your PC before delivery to you. the disks are just a back up of the driver need not be isntalled.\n\ngood luck

What type of a CD (data or audio) and the drive are they?\n\nDoes the computer recognise the CD? I mean in the My Computer folder, did the CD Drive recognise the disk?\n\nPls provide the info about the operating system you are using and the configuration of the system.\n\nThanks for the info. What system is it? Is it a branded system? Is the disk a CD or a DVD? Is it a burned disk or a purchased disk?\n\nTry to open the drive in the BIOS Mode and check if it opens and closes when you press the button without any problem.\n\nThen chk the drive in the Safe mode. Same procedure, open and close the drive using the button only. Put the disk and chk if the drive is able to recognise it.\n\nWas any new software added to the system recently?

try uninstalling any software pertaining to the burner (add/remove programs) restart the pc and then reinstall the software required to run the burner. also, try using the 'add new hardware' option in your control panel.

You may also check the power cable also. Burning device should have the suply cord for power. if not your pc won't detect any not powered device

With XP the drivers identify themselves. Use the START->Control Panel->Add Hardware \nthe missing HW should be identified and insert the CD with the drivers or copy the drivers to a place on the disk and indntify that place.

You may be missing some obscure components. Leave the disk in the CD tray for a while and, maybe, it will install itself.\n\nI know, not terribly tech-y, but it has happened to me and this fixed it.

When you install the software, do you reboot the computer? How many drives do you have? Check your program to see if you are loading the disc in the one it is expecting to see the blank disc in.\n\nI had a drive go bad and it didn't see anything. You can check that out by putting a program cd in and seeing if it opens or by going to my computer and looking.\n\nAlso, check out your hardware profiles. Look to see if it(the cd burner or reader) is being recognized and the drivers are working properly.

You need an original installation disc, or a set of system restore discs, one or the other of which probably came with your computer.

It should tell you on the front of the drive.  Should either have a sticker or be engraved.  Looking in your hardware configuration is not necessary or valid for the most part.  What if you have installed the wrong drivers?  Your hardware will list it under whatever you've installed - not what it actually is.
