    Numbering of the ATA devices?

    I need the numbering schemata of the ATA devices.
    I have a problem with ATA1.00.
    I have a PATA System with 2 connectors.
    On the first connector are 2 HDs and on the second connector is only one DVD.
    Is ATA1 the complete connector or the first/second device?
    How can I list all these devices?

    First ATA drive will be hda first partition on that drive will be hda1 & second hda2.
    Second ATA drive will be hdb first partition on that drive will be hdb1 & second hdb2.

    To see a list of all attached drives
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    password will be your normal user password.
    On my system this gives....

    Code:
    Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0xcc423cc4
    
       Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
    /dev/sda1   *           1        2590    20804143+   7  HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/sda2            9459        9729     2176807+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
    /dev/sda3            2591        9458    55167210   83  Linux
    So I have one SATA drive sda with 3 partitions, NTFS, Linux swap & Linux (system)

    Hope that helps you.
