Hi to all,

I have two hard disks in my machine. The first hard disk is (as per BIOS) an IDE (40 GB) and I have installed a Fedora and Windows XP in to it. The second one is SATA, Wester Digital, 160 GB. I want to install Ubuntu 8.10 in to my second hard disc. I started with Ubuntu 8.10 liveCD. After booting with this I found that the second hard disc has been recognized as "/dev/sda" and first hard disc as "/dev/sdb". In Fedora it is being detected correctly.
