Your English to too broken to be completely understandable, but it's
possible that the master-slave jumpering on the new replacement DVD
drive is wrong for your computer, causing the computer not to see or
recognize the drive. Unfortunately, on most laptop optical drives, this
is set at the factory and is not user selectable (changing it requires
soldering inside the drive, and is usually not documented). Some
computers require master, some require slave, some require cable select.

As I understand the OP his problem only has to do with booting from
the CD, and probably accessing it in Dos. It seems he says that as
long as he had his previous Windows installation running, the CD/DVD
was fine as well.
Could it be that he needs to load Dos drivers for the optical drive?

Try hitting F8 (or F12 or F2...) during boot to see if it will present you
with a boot menu, from which you might be able to select the DVD drive to
boot to.

That's normal. Laptop drives are made permanently jumpered to the specs
of the buyer (the maker of the laptop) by the maker of the drive.
That is one reason why replacing these can be difficult. Even if you
get the exact same model of drive, it may be jumpered differently unless
you got it from the maker of the LAPTOP. There may also be bezel issues.

Some drives can be flashed with alternate firmware (using a slimline to
IDE data cable adaptor) to change them from ATA to reverse ATA.
I recently bought an Optiarc AD-7590A for which there is a manufacturer
utility that can change the ID to anything: ATA, reverse, master, slave.

As others have posted, the computer's master/slave configuration is
probably different from the way the AD-7543A was set up by the
manufacturer.
The only way to fix this is to experiment with the Optiarc ID changing
tools described at the bottom of this page:
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-7540A/
This is risky as you can damage the drive or make it unuseable if things
go wrong. This process is best done on another computer having a standard
IDE data cable, and a slimline-to-IDE adapter.

Fascinating! Sounds like they do this through software. Probably through
firmware.

My guess is that they patch a few bytes in the boot blocks of the
firmware. A tool like this makes it possible to do so without having to
maintain 4 separate sets of firmware for each new update.

Are you booting an original Microsoft XP CD, or a burned copy?
This error means there is a problem with booting the CD; either because
the drive can't read it well, or it is not properly authored.
If the computer has a floppy disk, try booting a DOS floppy disk with
CD-ROM driver. If it recognizes the XP CD, then run Setup from the DOS
command line instead.
