Is the jumper set correctly - Master/Slave?

Well, if you have problem and you want help, then I would say it's better
to give more detail for the real answer rather than playing guessing game to
each other.
1. All drives have the same Master/Slave relationship. Or the real married
couple must be a Man/Woman to make a child (Master/Slave)
2. Not all the manufactures/Models require to have exact same PIN (location)
so "same as the drive you replace" doesn't mean it's correct.
3. And then Master/Slave setting require will depend on how you connect the
drive.
My wild guess, and I assume you try to put the newer drive exactly same
setting, same connection with the older one. Then MAKE SURE to have the
cable connects correctly.
- The RED wire (side) goes to lowest PIN #'s

If his burning software recognizes the drive, it's not a jumper problem.

No - One should be Master (Generally the first one on the cable as you move
from the motherboard I believe) and one should be Slave, OR, both should be
Cable Select (CS). Unless of course they are on a different ribbon, but
that is unlikely I would think.
DVD writers are finicky things, so if you can get another blank DVD of a
different type from a friend to try then do. Anything with a RITEK dye is
usually good.
If it won't do a CD though, then that is suspect as there are rarely any
compatibility problems there.

Did you follow the installation directions? Was there a CD with it.
Did you use it?
