Question about 'Designate Your Own Drive Letters' In between letter does no show up

I have 3 CD/DVD burner/roms in a row, but the in-between letter never shows up. Say
if I designate the first one to F, second to G, and the third to H, it's only F and
H shwoing up in My Computer or Windows explorer. Inside applications, say WORD, if
I open a document that resides on G: and type G: it opens up.
Also, if I go to the command prompt, it finds G like nothing.
Same if I choose them as X,Y,Z, it's always the one in between that's left out. It
does not matter which brand, or which one of them I designate as "the in between"
letter. Inside Device Manager, they all look ok, with each appropriate assignment.
F,G,H. Inside regedit as well. If I try to spread them out, say, F, M, Z, it's always
the middle one that's missing.

Do you have the jumpers all set correctly?

Yes, I shure have set all jumpers correctly. Then it wouldn't swap drives, when I
change them around. Then the error would turn up on the same drive (i e the Plextor
one) all of the time. It doesn't. If the jumpers wouldn't be set correctly, I wouldn't
be able to reach them from DOS PROMPT at all. Mind you, I have not set ANY drivers
in CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.
This is the DOS prompt or command prompt run from Windows.
I think it's something that HIDES my drives. When running the Letter Assigner program
(by Vadim Butansky) it shows HID in the column! How can I UNHIDE the drives!? Please
Help!The Hidden ones seems to move around as well, always "hides the middle letter"!
I have tried regedit, poledit.exe, and whatnot but it seems to reset to HIDDEN.
