P5WD2-E PREMIUM conflicts with IDE DVD's?

I saw on another forum that some ASUS mobo's have issues with IDE
DVD's
I did have problems with system freezing and I sent the Liteon DVD
drive back to Newegg already.

But they'll be replacing it.
not upgrading it.

I'm looking at SATA DVD-R's but cannot determine if my P5WD2-E
Premium- (XPproSP2) can support an internal SATA DVR.
I have two SATA HDDs already.

So does anyone know if the conflict exists and secondly, which DVD-R
will work properly and where doe it connect on the mobo?

TIA
