I would check visually also, as Ultra ATA is IDE not SATA. (IDE is
usually listed as PATA nowadays)
SATA stands for Serial ATA. IDE was a totally different interface.
Why not put the model of the laptop up here, maybe some of us have
had experience with it.

Ultra ATA <> SATA. I'm telling you, you'll be making a big mistake to
rely on anything except your own eyes. In most laptops, it's only a 5
minute procedure to open it up and look at it - probably less time
than you've taken so far playing with software. And you're going to
have to do it eventually anyway to replace it.
