Yes you can. First off, the whole master/slave thing is not applicable to SATA. So their is no setting of master and slave when you hook up the hard drive. As for the DVD, since it will be the only thing on the IDE chain, you will have to set it as master.

DVD RW drive will have links in the back - there should be a sticker on top telling you which links to short out to make it master or slave. They are shorted out with a "jumper" or link which slots on. The SATA drive should already be master.
