Your just used of doing things a certain way,with certain terms.
If you ever find yourself having "used" linux for anywhere near as long as you`ve used Windows(?) then i`m sure those hd0`s & sda`s will be just as easy to understand as those familair ole C`s & `Ds. |
from how I understand it.
hda1 IDE harddrive 1 (partition 1)
hda2 IDE drive 1 (partition2)
hdb1 IDE drive 2 (parition1)
or
sda1 scsi/sata drive 1 (partiton 1)
sda2 Scsi/sata drive 1 (partition2)
sdb1 Scsi/sata drive2 (partiton1)
and so forth.
although some sata drives show up as IDE depending on the controller making them hd(x) enteries rather than sd(x) entries
Hd(0,1) is drive 0 partition 2 (system counts from 0), so the first drive on the first controller.
hd(1,5) would be harddrive 2 partition 6 .
I may be wrong with the hd(0,1) etc since i've only had to deal with them in grub a couple times and am still learning
Its actually very logical when I think about it, makes the windows way of doing things seem silly.
