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?
