ah, I forgot about that... Check the boot messages (try sth like
"dmesg |grep '^hd.:'" which will list the drives and drive "letters"
that the kernel sees when booting. What does it say?).
Hmm, if you have an extra interface you might have to jumper the disk
as master and it shows up as hde but this enters the land of wild
speculations and probly somebody who uses a docking station will be of
more help.
good luck,
