Why does XP now ignore SATA DVD-ROM it found an hours ago?

Ok, I had two DVD-ROM drives in my system an hour ago: One traditional one connected
to a standard IDE cable (and set to master) and one new Blu-Ray drive connected to
a SATA port. This worked perfectly. Now I added a third DVD-ROM (the third one's
a LightScribe drive), which I connected to the second part of the standard IDE cable
and set the drive to slave.
I booted up XP, and it found both of the IDE DVD drives, but it now insists the Blu-Ray
is no longer present! I run the full add hardware wizard and insists it cannot find
such a thing and none of the "force it yourself" options include anything at all
from Lite-On (the maker of one of the IDE DVD drives and the Blu-Ray DVD drive).
Furthermore, there are no drivers available at Lite-On's site.
So what the hell do I do now?
