Yes, My Os is off my SATA drive. Neither BIOS nor Windows pick these drives up. However a Floppy drive is somehow detected even though I don't have one.

Also, don't assume the arrangement will be the same for all the drives because it wont be.
So In other words, make the burner the master and hdd the slave? Since thats how it's hooked up?
