I just replaced a CD Rom with a DVD Rom from a different computer, i'm pretty sure the wiring and everythings correct but now both my drives dont work. My Computer wont recognize any of the drives. Any Suggestions?

you have a jumper conflict either master or slave. at the back of dvd drive between the data connector & the audio connector is 3 pairs of pins master slave & cable select. if the 1 of the 2 drives not working is your c drive which is master than change the dvd to slave just like the cdrom was
