I think that you missed important pieces of information. Did the computer try to reboot when you put the DVD RW disc in?

Did you eventually get the computer to boot back up? If not, how do you know the CD/DVD player is not working?

Did you try booting up with the DVD writer unplugged? Check all of your connections to the hard drive. You may have unseated the plugs when you put in the DVD writer.
