DVD-Writer not recognized

[blackjackS]

A few hours ago, I finished constructing my first PC build, and everything is working, save for the DVD-writer. It's an ASUS DRW-24F1ST. There no problem with the cabling, because both SATA and power are plugged in, and the drive opens and closes just fine. However, when I put a disc in, the disc seems (based on the sound) to very briefly spin, and the LED blinks for a few seconds, only to stop after that. When I open up the device manager, there seems to be no recognized device.

I haven't, how do I do that? Edit: I simply connected the DVD drive to the SATA 3 or 4 port, if I recall correctly.

Well, this one is brand new...

Your CD/DVD drives are displayed under a different section...

I know, the drive subsection was expanded for another reason. The problem is that there is no tab for DVD/CD at all. That image I posted showed all the devices, save for audio inputs/outputs

You should try a different disk, sata cable and port then, as the data connection seems nonexistent.

Tried a different disk, which resolved the issue. The unit must be broken. Thanks for the help everybody.
