Odd disk problem in XP, or is it?

I have an IBM 75GXP ATA100 Hard Drive and when I go into my device manager in Windows XP it it showing the hard drive as being an `IBM SCSI Disk Device`. I have no idea why the drive would be being detected as a SCSI drive. I must be losing some proformance some how, I can't even see how DMA would be enabled. Any suggestions would be great!
 
Do you have is attached to a ATA controller(promise or High point)?

I have a High point controller in my Server box that sees makes the OS see the Disks as SCSI
 
I've read the explanition for this somewhere.....it has to do with the controller not being identified properly as an IDE device. Somehow then it gets it's SCSI designation. This is a normal occurence with various flavors of Windows, so I wouldn't worry about it. Lots of devices do this.
 
yeah same thing here I have a A7V133 and my HD shows up as a SCSI device on the Promise controller
it will be fine the drive will be set to DMA
 
Ya, I do have it on the ATA 100 Controller on my Abit KT-7 RAID board. Is there certian drivers that I may have to get/update to make it reconize it properly? or is it fine the way it is?
