Dell Optiplex GX280 - Wont Recognize New TSST CDRW/DVD Drive

Inserted a new TSST Dell CDRW/DVD drive into Optiplex GX 280 today and it does not pick the new device in explorer. As far as the PC is concerned it does not exist - there is power supply to it as draw opens. Do i need to install drivers or any other help greatly appreciated ASAP. Many thanks

    Does the drive show in the Device Manager?  If so, right-click it
    and select Properties.  Is there an Error Code?

    Did you go into the BIOS and turn the PATA drive on?

    Toshiba Samsung drives are not different from any other so the model is not relevant.

    You must set the drive to CABLE SELECT.
