Not at all, we were all(and are still) newbies.
Most motherboards today have a floppy controller, and two IDE
controllers.
Each of the IDE controllers can control two IDE disks, master and slave.
You should be able to fit 4 drives on most motherboards.
Your CD-ROM will be one of those devices if it is IDE.
