Well that's just cooky, but you are right! I do have an IDE drive in
there, not SATA. How do I know? Because I just put the new Western
Digital Scorpio WD1200BEVE 120GB 5400 RPM ATA-6 Notebook Hard Drive in
there. But it looks like my friend 'Hal' is using it as a serial storage
device?? From hardware info:
12: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_WD_WXE307576390'
storage.media_check_enabled = false
storage.firmware_version = '01.04A01'
storage.removable.media_available = true
storage.size = 120034123776ull (0x1bf2976000ull)
storage.hotpluggable = false
block.storage_device =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_WD_WXE307576390'
linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/block/hda'
storage.bus = 'ide'
block.major = 3 (0x3)
block.is_volume = false
storage.drive_type = 'disk'

storage.partitioning_scheme = 'mbr'
Go figure???
