You need to unplug the IDE data cable (you can unplug the power cable, too, if you want). The IDE data cable is a long, 40- or 80-wire, very wide so-called "ribbon" cable, it goes from the motherboard to IDE devices - hard disks and CD/DVD drives - and it usually has three connectors - one for the motherboard and two for two IDE devices; if you can't find it, ask a friend or go to your local computer shop to show those cables to you.

To make your CD/DVD drives disappear, yes, you could move them from IDE to a SCSI or S-ATA controller. But NOT the CD/DVD drives you already have as IDE, SCSI and S-ATA have completely different connectors!

As for the rest of your post, sorry, I don't understand it...
