The best way to verify this is to look at /var/log/dmesg. It should tell you
how many drives were detected at boot. Mine even indicates the number of
partitions on the drive.
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 17783240 [8683 MB] [8.7 GB]
sda: sda1 sda2 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 >
SCSI device sdb: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 35885168 [17522 MB] [17.5
GB]
sdb: sdb1
Of course mine is scsi, but I would expect an IDE listing to look similar.
