Is your DVD drive PATA? That is, does it have a connector that's about 1/4" tall, a couple inches wide, with two wide rows of pins?

If so, you'd have to get a controller card. It would be cheaper, then, to just replace the drive with a native SATA one (the connector your HDD likely uses, of which that board has 4).
