A floppy connector is smaller than an IDE connector; you wouldn't be able to insert the cable into the socket if it were really intended for a floppy. Most modern boards with SATA also include a floppy connector and a single IDE connector, usually adjacent on the motherboard.
Your single IDE connector should support both IDE burners. You should set the jumpers on one drive to be a master and set the other to be a slave. The IDE cable will have two connectors at one end and a single connector on the other. That connector plugs into the motherboard. Plug the connector at the other end into the master drive and the remaining connector into the slave.
When you boot up, check the BIOS and make sure it identifies both drives. If so, you should be all set. If not, check all the connections and the jumpers and try again. If the BIOS still doesn't see one of the drives, try connecting to it as a single drive with the master jumper set. If it's still not showing up, the drive itself might be dead.
