Craig, I had a setup like this in a 6xxx box. You have to add a PCI IDE card (Sonnet, Promise) and hook the CDRW up to that. The Internal hard disk cable doesnt connect to a regular IDE on the board; all the connections in the 6xxx series are made with an edge connector on the front of the logic board, thus disabling an end user from replacing any of the internal cabling.
