> Hello all,
> 
> I need some help with Feisty and VMware. I have an HP nc8230 notebook 
> that I've installed Feisty 7.04 on. This was a clean install on a 
> formatted drive, not an upgrade. Before Feisty I had Dapper 6.06 and 
> also Dapper's predecessor 5.04 (I think). When I installed Feisty, 
> Feisty decided my hdd is SATA. Prior versions have always detected it as 
> IDE. Not a problem as everything seems to work. Except VMware. I want to 
> use my WinXP partition as a VMware image, but VMware does not support a 
> physical partiton as an image on a SATA drive.
> 
> My questions are, why did Feisty decide to treat my drive as SATA, and 
> (how) can I get Feisty to see it as IDE?
> 
> Thanks for any help.
