Naming harddisks (Linux)

Hello,
I would like to get some clarification on linux's naming convention for
haddisks. What I knew was:
/dev/hda ../dev/hd(x) for fixed hard disks interfaced by parallel ATA
/dev/sda.. /dev/sda(x) for fixed hard disks interfaced by either serial ATA
or SCSI ATA. But I also see that for an USB drive it uses /dev/sd(x) as the
device.
On my VAIO laptop with Ubuntu live dvd,
Harddisk is being recongnized as /dev/sda and USB drive as /dev/sdb. Does
this mean I have a SCSI hard disk instead of normal ATA harddisk ? In Vista
it shows normal ATA disk..
But..GRUB does not recognize the hard disk at all. It simply recognized
(hd0) as the usb drive. Why is that happenning.
Does GRUB recognize SCSI drives ?
If I install GRUB during installing, will it work or will I not be able to
boot..?
Kind Regards,
Ravishankar
