Which model CD-ROM and SoundBlaster do you have? Some SoundBlaster cards
do have an IDE connector on them but others have a connector that looks
like IDE but is not. I'm wondering if the problem is not with the
SoundBlaster but with the CD-ROM itself.

You could easily damage the motherboard. You should be able to find an IDE
adaptor card that fits into a slot and allows connecting two more hard
drives. Many CD-ROMs sold in retail stores come with these cards. What
kind of computer is this? I cannot tell from the model number.
