    On an IDE system with two IDE ports:

     hda = master on IDE 0
     hdb = slave on IDE 0
     hdc = master on IDE 1
     hdd = slave on IDE 1

    You must have one of those newer Gateways or Dells that has the hard
    drive on the second IDE port for some reason. Does that serve some sort
    of purpose other than confusing people who have been putting the drive
    on the first IDE port since IDE was invented?
