If any of the drives has partitions then _those_ partitions are numbered as 1,2,3 etc. Therefore a SATA HDD on slot sda will have partitions sda1, sda2, sda3 etc. However a CD/DVD Drive does not have partitions and is named only as sda, sdb, sdc sdd etc.
You mention above that your HDD is sda, therefore the next free name for your SATA CD ROM will be sdb. As an exercise run the command 'dmesg' in your terminal and look for entries for your HDD and CD drive. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !
