Agree with JBMac, if the optical drive (DVD) was being "seen" by the BIOS it would 
be on the list with the hard disk drive.

Suggestion:
1.  Change the HDD to connect to SATA port 0
2.  Change the optical drive to connect to SATA port 1
3.  Refer to p43 of the manual and set SATA RAID/AHCI to AHCI, and set SATA Port 
0-3 Native Mode to enabled
4. Refer to p39 of the manual and set IDE Channel 0 and 1 to Auto.  Assuming you 
have no other HDDs/DVDs besides the two mentioned, set the rest to None to save a 
little boot time.
5.  Don't forget to choose Save & Exit
6.  Upon reboot, hit F12 Boot Options menu and choose Boot from CD/DVD if the option 
is on the list

Until the SATA optical disc drive is showing in the BIOS, you will be dead in the 
water.
