    <p>I shut  down the machine so I could open it up and see which sata
      port that drive was plugged into.  I was wrong earlier when I said
      it was plugged into one of the sata ports on the motherboard.  It
      was plugged into an addon card that's plugged into a pcie slot. I
      have a trayless hot swap mobile rack I use for drives I use for
      backups.  I switched the two sata  cables.  The internal drive now
      connects to the motherboard.  The hot swap rack connects to the
      sata addon card.  I rebooted and the internal drives don't show.. 
      Apparently anything connected to the sata ports on the motherboard
      is treated as an internal drive and anything conneccted to an
      addon cars is treated as an external drive whether it is or not.<br>

                  I have a problem with the two partitions on /dev/sdd
                  showing up in Gnome <br>
                  Disk Utility and in Disks & Devices in the Kubuntu

                  removable.  The real removable drive, a USB stick
                  doesn't show at all.   <br>
                  Somehow I got Gnome Disk Utility to show all disk,
                  including the USB stick.<br>
                  <br>
                  In /sys/block/sdd there's a file named removable.  In
                  it is just a <br>
                  number 1.  The other internal drives have a 0 in the
                  removable file.<br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?<br>
