hello there, i just want to ask what is the difference of having your IDE CD/DVD drive in /dev/sd0 rather than in /dev/hda? my friend and i have the same kernel version and distro (Ubuntu). the only difference is, my hard drive is detected in the file system of /dev/hda and his is in /dev/sd0. what do you think is the reason? thanks.

Jump to Post/dev/hdX is a PATA drive, /dev/sdY is a serial (SATA or SCSI) drive. My USB drive also comes up as an sdY even though the HD itself is PATA.
