According to your sys info, your IDE channels are ok, but I don't see what devices are connected to each channel.
Your burner/drive can be connected to any one of the two IDE channels and set as a master, a slave, or set to cable select (CS). Usually the hard drive is connected to the primary IDE channel as a master and all other drives/optical devices are conneted to the secondary IDE channel.
If you have only one optical drive connect it to the secondary IDE channel and set it as a master, if you have two drives on the secondary IDE channel set one as master the other as slave (note: the device on the cable's first connector should be set as the master and the other as the slave) or you can set both drives for cable select (CS) using the cable that came with the new drive.
Do not set both drives as masters (or slaves) on the same IDE cable
ALSO:
The system bios should recognize and configure the burner on boot-up, then pass that info on to the operating system which installs it. So lets look at your bios settings and see if the burner is even detected. If you can enter the system bios on boot-up do so (pressing the F2 or delete key on bootup), once in look for the IDE channel setup and make sure both primary and secondary channels (device 0 and 1) are set to auto detect and not disabled (set to off), if the burner is detected you should see it listed on the IDE channel it's connected to as well as in the boot sequence menu. If the drive is detected properly then the operating system is informed and the drive is then installed when the operating system takes over.
If you've properly connected the drive to the motherboard, set it properly (master/slave), and is detected by the systems bios, then it should be installed and operate properly. If the drive isn't detected by the systems bios, then it will never be installed by the operating system, return it for another and retry. Also if it is detected by the bios but not installed, return it for another and retry.
