P5WD2 PREMIUM EIDE Help

How can I get this motherboard to boot from the EIDE channel (Primary or Secondary). I'm trying to connect 2 DVD RW and a Hard Drive. I can get it to boot from the blue connector, but I can't get it to boot from the red ones. The DVD RWs will be connected to the blue connector. it's as though the red EIDE ports don't work. HELP!!!
 
There should be an option in your CMOS to set the order of the bootable devices, including the ability to boot from CD-ROM (including DVD-ROM's and all burners) before going to your hard drive. My usual boot order is:

1. Floppy drive

2. CD-ROM

3. Drive 0 (first hard drive).
