how do I find out which controller connects to a hard disk?

Question

I have a computer with SATA, parallel ATA, and SCSI controllers, and one or two disks on each controller. How can I tell which disks are connected to which controller from inside Windows XP?

Answer 1

Go to start and right click on my computer. Click Manage. Click Disk Management. On the screen it will show you all your hard disks and how they are plugged in.

Answer 2

Open the computer and look at the drives. A SATA looks thin and red, IDE cables are wide and grey, while SCSI look like ide but are narrow.

Answer 3

the one that goes into the back of the HDD is the controllr which controls it
