I THINK this model Thinkpad (R51), among others has some sort of wonky PATA-SATA bridge, where the disk controller is a SATA controller with a built in adapter to accept PATA drives (but without any way of removing said adapter to install a SATA drive).  Perhaps that's what the hde is referencing?  
<br><br>Either way, I was able to edit the /etc/fstab and changed the /dev/hde1 and /dev/hde5 entries for the boot and swap to /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda5.&nbsp; After a reboot, everything appears to be working correctly.&nbsp; <br><br>
