I doubt a new driver will solve your problem. I've never had to install special drivers for optical devices. Windows has them built in. More likely the drive has failed.

No drivers should be needed. What was the jumper pin setting (Master-Slace-CS)? Diod you set it the same as the jumper pins on the old drive? Did you connect the power cable and the IDE/SATA cable?
