K7t266 using IDE 3 and 4

Can anyone tell me whether or not I can use IDE 3 and 4 as an extra IDE drive.  I would like to eventually add 5 plus hard drives in my system (disable the IDE 3 and 4 and make it into a regular IDE device).  Can anyone assist me. Thanks

3 and 4 are generaly  for raid, If thats true on the board you havethen the following aplies.  Raid will either mirror or stripe but will only report 1 drive. say you have 2 80 gig drives and set them as mirror then the system will report 1 80 gig drive. stripe will report 1 160gig drive.
If you want to add ide drives other than as raid you might get an IdE controler card which will add 2 more controllers to your system as regular IDE Dual fifo and then you can put more drives on them.
