CDrom not working

I have a new 2.4 celeron machine. I install my old H/D, CDrom and a new CDwriter. In “My Computer it shows the CDrom And writer. When I place a CD in the player nothing happens. When I click on the drive in “my computer the computer freeze and I had to reset.
I put the CDrom back in my old computer AMD 333 and it work without a problem. Now what is the problem it won’t work in the new machine. I unplug the writer and plug on the same cable the CDrom without success.
