I think you would get these symptoms if the drive wasn't connected to the
motherboard correctly. The light will flash when youput a disc in if the
power is connected - it doesn't require the data connection for that.
Have you checked the master/slave setting? If it is on its own cable it must
be master. If it shares a cable one drive must be master and the other
slave. In the latter case, sometimes swapping them can help - some pairs of
drives won't work with one of the units as master.
Is the ribbon cable the right way round at both ends? Usually they are
keyed, but I have seen some that are not.
