This article says this could happen when using 2 non Samsung or Western Digital drives. I just ran into this trying to add a 2nd (Seagate) drive to a system that already had an 80GB Seagate drive (way too little). It has to do with insufficient cooling in this chassis for 2 harddrives (I guess Samsung and Western Digital drives don't become as warm).
I'm not sure how replacing a SATA optical drive counts though, unless the replacement drive is a different brand and the bios on this system only likes specific brand optical drives (for heat consideration reasons).
There is a way to bypass the error pause at the start up. It will not fix the issue or stop the message generation but will continue the boot process without pause at the error message.
Caveat: Use this only if you are happy to install a non WD or Samsung secondary HDD and risk the 'possible' overheating. I have used this on 755s but haven't followed up on it's long term effects.
In the BIOS setting for POST Behavior change the Keyboard Errors setting from Report to Do Not Report. Save and reboot. The PC will then boot and flash the same error message but continue through to the OS boot.
