Does it have a guarantee or warranty of any kind from the
seller? If so, take advantage of it. Optical drives don't
tend to break "in the mail" so seek some relief.

If you're desperate to deal with the problem you need more
hardware. Put a known working drive in, pull that drive out
and test it on a desktop system. Use adapters where
necessary.

Sounds like the drive is dead, though you might set the bios
to boot from it and throw a know-good bootable CDROM in to
remove Windows from the equation.
