Yes.

That's what BIOS and e.g. Hardware Info proggy say.

The other IDE-devices (four) are detected OK, this 13GB hd is giving
trouble (in detection phase only). It has ~13GB ext2 partition and
it works just fine. Except from the fact that it has only 630 files,
4GB used, and fragmention level is 25%... how came?
