Have you considered that the drive may simply be bad? Those are really old drives at this point in time. Optics age, as the coatings can tarnish over time. But unlike camera lenses, laser eyes are cheaply made.
If you have Windows 7, and the drive is plugged in correctly, and it doesn't work -- it may just be dead.
Another option may be the jumpers, on the back of the drive, by the wires. Are you sure the drive jumpers are set correctly? Sometimes "cable select" is the best, but other times it must be manually set as master or slave -- which is determined by how the computer's IDE wiring is set up.
