Check if it is being recognized in your bios.

Is it getting any power from the PSU? (when you turn your system on, do the lights come on)?

Yep, the door opens too!!
I've tried removing the old cd player, also a samsung, which was set to master, and replacing it with the new one, also set to master. Didn't work either.
