Glad to help. Thanks to LJ for correctly putting his finger on the problem - I just filled in the gaps.
With all those channels, you can afford to put your HD on channel 0 and DVD on channel 1.
Channels 2 & 3 suggest that your mobo has two extra IDE/ATA channels "or" two onboard RAID channels.
If they are RAID channels and you are not going to be using RAID (which I don't think you will - it's not for beginners or the faint-hearted), then you can disable RAID in the BIOS.
Many mobos allow you to use RAID channels as ordinary ATA/IDE channels - which means you can put more HDs or ATAPI devices on them.
But check what your mobo manual says about it.
