IDE Drive Not Detecting

I have a DVD-ROM drive that will not detect on a hard reboot, or start up.
If you try, it will hand at the detecting phase for some time, at least 30 seconds, and then finally give up. Going into windows, obviously there is no drive available.
If I put a drive in the bay (it still has power, etc), and reboot, it will detect fine. Just not on start up.
I have updated the firmware for both the drive and the motherboard... but the problem seems to have only gotten worse. Now it hangs when it attempts to detect the Secondary Master (there is none at all), and just breezes through the Secondary Slave without seemingly trying to find it (where the drive actually is). It's not a primary slave because I'm running a SATA harddrive and I was told that it was preferable to keep your peripheral drives on the Secondary IDE, fact or fiction?
It is a Samsung drive, and an ASROCK motherboard, for reference. Using the IDE cables that came with the motherboard.

If primary master is used by nother drive then put DVD as 2ndary master.
I'm not sure why you'd be counseled to not use the DVD as 2ndary master. Unless there is some firmware bug specific to your mobo that wants to boot to IDE masters preferentially to your SATA controller.
Boot order should be specified in BIOS. Perhaps you need to go into BIOS and turn "ON" the IDE channels, disabling the IDE controller is a setting in some BIOSes.
solved for now
