I found my problem. When I installed the internal TDK 440N burner I confused the flat cables and connected the wrong cable from the motherboard to the burner. When I connected the right cable from the motherboard to the burner the burner works just fine. Sorry to have bothered you all with my goof. Thanks much for your help.

First, you'll need a paperclip. Unfold it so there is 1 to 2 inches that is straight.
Now, look closely at your drive door. There should be a very small pinhole either above or below it.
Insert the paperclip. There is a very small gear that when rotated, will manually open the drive door.
Retract and reinsert the paper clip as many times as it takes to eject the drive enough so you can hold onto it.
Pull Out the CD or DVD Drive.
Now slowly pull the drive out until it is fully retracted. Remove your stuck CD or DVD, and slowly push the drive bay back until the door is closed.
