Where can I find the original drivers for GH24LS50

It's not a driver disk.... at least not for Windows OS's. Driver support comes from the OS not from a disk. The disk most likely only contains burning software, dvd decoding software, and possibly dos driver.

Optical drives (at least all modern one's) do not require a driver when run in a Windows environment. The OS provides the support automatically. Is the drive shown/listed in My Computer?

What operating system are you using? XP, Vista?

Windows XP doesn't nativey support SATA. Check in BIOS to see if your motherboard supports sata to IDE emulation.
Comment back if you need further assistance.
