On my machine I have
SATA0: HD SATA1: HD these two drives are set as RAID1 SATA2: HD extra SATA3: DVD SATA4: external USB disk
Snip from dmesg shows the ATAPI device being detected.
ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9e0 ctl 0xbe0 bmdma 0xe400 irq 10 ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x960 ctl 0xb60 bmdma 0xe408 irq 10 ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-ROM BDC-202, 1.01, max UDMA/66 ata3.00: configured for UDMA/66 ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata4.00: ATA-7: ST3500630AS, 3.AAC, max UDMA/133 ata4.00: 976773168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata4.00: configured for UDMA/133
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.

Interesting - my PATA DVD burners show up as /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd - why would SATA drives not show up in the same fashion?

At least in C5, all SATA support is handle by libata. And libata uses the SCSI stack to do part of the work. So that is way all SATA devices will show up as "scsi" devices. And if I'm correct people are working on porting the older PATA drivers to the libata framework, so they will also be shown is sdX devices, if I remember correctly Fedora 8 already does this.
