>I've heard that using screws that are too long inside a cd drive can mess them up.

Random things to try:
Try it without screws.  Hanging outside the box.  Check the Master/Slave/Cable Select settings.  A different cable, 80 pin?  Put it on the other IDE connector.  Try it in a different machine. A motherboard diagnostic utility.

Just guessing.
