The DVD-ROM does use the IDE bus, while the FDD uses the LPC Bus. As others have said, buses are not phyiscal things that can be removed, don't confuse them with the connectors. Both the IDE bus and LPC bus come from the Southbridge, whic comes from the Northbridge, which is connected to the CPU by the FSB. Hope that makes sense.

that would be the IDE bus that connects the dvd-rom. actually it's usually found on the secondary ide and the hard drive is usually on the primary ide

If you look you should see the DVD and the fdd are on different interfaces as well.
If they are not you are the owner of a rare computer which has SCSI DVD and SCSI floppy. In which case they are using a SCSI bus.

No bus is visible.
A bus is a subsystem which transfers data from one device to another which is (usually) controlled by a driver.
Don't confuse bus' with interfaces.
