is there anything else on the IDE cable to see if it's not the MOBO?
Have you checked the BIOs to see if it is recognizing it?
It is definitely being recognized by BIOS.
I'd check to see if DriverCleaner can clean out any rom drive drivers from safe mode. Restart, then install the latest driver from the manufacturer's website.
If that doesn't work, I'd be tempted to think that the PSU connection may have gome bad so you can try and switch the connection being used. Could be that it just can't draw the power necessary.
If that doesn't work there's an outside chance that you're PSU may be starting to go.
Other than that, make sure your system is clean of all anti-viruses and malware. Or that if there was a recent infection, that whatever was deleted didn't also cause any root commands to be corrupted.
Also, check your system admin tools for error reporting and see if anything comes up when you dry to run the rom.
I'm pretty lo-fi bush league when it comes to tech support but...
Could the DVD drive have a blown motor or slipped gear? Does it ever spin up?
Have you tried installing in on another system?

In the OP it was stated that a new drive was also tried but with the same issue.
My last PC began to have the same problem. I also placed a new rom drive and it would attempt to spin, but then stop. It ended being my PSU, which had also fried my GPU just after that (it's ram went kablooie).
I'd still try for the driver fix first, then if that fails, go with the psu. I hope everything turns out ok.
I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
My DVD drive recently stopped working. It would open, and it showed up in device manager, but wouldn't spin or read anything. I attempted to update the driver, but when I downloaded it my system wouldn't recognize the device the driver belonged to. I then installed a new DVD drive but had the same problem. I just now installed a new IDE cable... same problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
