Things change, they dont use ide dvd drives anymore and most motherboards have it set to where the first 2-4 sata ports can be set to ide-sata-achi and then the the other ports can be set different. Since you didnt post model of motherboard i cant tell you which are which.
So you set the first ports to achi and have hard drive hooked into them then set the last ports to ide and hook you sata dvd drive into there. Problem solved or if ytou like you can install windows from a usb drive.
