New DVD drive not detected.

[JaktHunt]

I recently replaced the Optiarc AD7560S optical drive in my Inspiron 1545 because it had stopped responding after the computer crashed while installing the drive's firmware. I have the same problem, however, with the new drive. It is not detected anywhere and if I try to install the firmware it says 'No compatible device found'. It is installed correctly, I can insert discs (it has power) but nothing else. I'm at the end of my tether here and can't find any relevant advice anywhere. Thanks for any help.

Does the bios see it?
What mode (raid, ahci, or ide/compatibility) are the sata ports in?
