I presume SATA, since you wrote:
''
The 'mess' I talked about in my previous message, consisted of a whole
bunch of error messages, quickly rolling over a black screen. The most
frequently observed kind of message was like this:
[ 2369.165361] Buffer i/o error on device sr0,  logical block 843904.
Via another user group, it has become clear to me that 'sr0' refers to
the CD ROM.
''
An IDE cdrom is /dev/hdb (or even hda), while s SCSI and SATA is
/dev/sda (SCSI Disk) or sr0 (SCSI Rom).
But you could also open the box and look at the data cable. If it's
flat, it's an IDE. If it's not flat (and in my case red coloured) it's
SATA.
