An IDE Drive is not the same as a SATA drive, for starters. If you want your optical drive to be the master on an IDE channel you can jumper it to make it such. The second drive on the IDE channel must then be jumpered as a slave. If the optical drive is the only drive on the channel then it ought to be jumpered as the master.

This presumes that your ribbon cable is of a newer design and supports this option.
