As I understand it, hda and hdc are the primary master and secondary
master IDE drives (most newer PC's have 2 IDE ports on the
motherboard), while hdb and hdd are the primary slave and secondary
slave ide drives (Hard disks or CDRoms)

partitions 1 to 4 are primary partitions, and partitions 5 onwards are
extended partitions.

A parrallel port Zip drive is always sda4 (so I understand from Linux
HowTo's)
