What does it do on boot? Anything? What happens after POST / BIOS splash?

Try switching up the boot order, checking the drive connections, jumper settings...

And try AHCI mode

Does the drive work?
Does the CD you are using work?
Are you certain its not an iso / burn issue?
Can you boot any bootable media from the CD drive (linux, PE, etc)?
