Without taking apart your computer, you should be able to see by checking the following things. Although I can't tell how reliable these are since i don't have access to a PATA only HW at the moment. * Your HD shows up as a SCSI device (sda) * kernel reports ata1 as PATA device (dmesg will tell) For me the line that kernel spits out is: ata1: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1F0 ctl 0x3F6 bmdma 0xBFA0 irq 14 Another way is to see what IDE controller you have: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ > lspci | grep IDE 0000:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03) Then check check the make and model of your HD to see if it's a SATA drive. If someone has an easier way, please fill in. ;) - S -- linux-image-2.6.17-[34]-686 doesn't boot, libata error https://launchpad.net/bugs/51308 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
