On my machine I have

Snip from dmesg shows the ATAPI device being detected.

sda is HD sdb is HD again RAID1 sdc is the HD extra sdd should be hte ATAPI DVD but it ends up being the external USB
nothing is at sde
Where might my DVD be?
sdX is used for hard disks (scsi disk). A DVD is not a disk so it is not listed there. It will probably be defined as sr0.
Anyway, the best way to find out is to install the tool lsscsi using yum. Here is the example of the output from lsscsi on my laptop :
# lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk ATA ST910021AS 4.06 /dev/sda [4:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4083N 1.08 /dev/sr0
So that should help you indentify your devices.
