Dear Mr. Bryen, I am new to OpenSuSE 10.3, in facts, I new to all Linux too. When first time installing OpenSuSE, some technical information may not be in my concern, until discovering more reading on websites and forums than I started to confuse about the device naming. But also being confused when many website information are not specific version of SuSE. Also, because I read this website (http://en.opensuse.org/NTFS) which also wrongly stating /dev/hda1 for IDE and it is for SuSE 10.3 (see section "Installation of NTFS write support" > OpenSUSE 10.3 > For Example > PATA (IDE) drive > /dev/hda1 .. . . . .) Please understand my situation of unclear and please forgive my confusion, Thank you. __________________________________________________________________________ Bryen wrote:

I'm newbie of SuSE, Could anybody please advise me why my IDE harddisk is being detected by OpenSuSE 10.3 (KDE) as /dev/sda but not /dev/hda Isn't it /dev/sda is referring to SCSI harddisk ?
Betcha you didn't read the Release Notes during the installation. ;-)
Per the release notes, openSuse now tags all drives with s instead of h. Why? I don't know, perhaps someone else can enlighten us. But your /dev/sda is working as expected.
