Are both drives jumpered properly for the type of IDE cable they're connected to?

If 40 wire IDE cable, set the jumpers to master or slave.

If 80 wire IDE cable, set the jumpers to CS (cable select) and make sure you have the cable connected properly (blue to motherboard, black to burner, grey to reader.

Try the new burner in another computer. If it doesn't work there, it's broken.
