<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>

<p>The bios has nothing to specify whether a drive is
internal or external. Is there some way for me to tell
the system that it's an internal drive?<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
system tray as <br>
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>
<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
