Have you checked the jumper on the DVD drive? Make sure it is set the same as the CD drive you took out.

I'm holding a i series drive in my hand right now, and their are no "jumpers" as such, but there are two indentations on the bottom edge of the back of the drive. I believe the position of that indentation determines the jumper setting. Probably a pin in the drive bay that should be protruding into that recess is being compressed and changing the setting. Make sure your new drive has a indentation in exactly the same spot.
