If you have IDE Hard disks:

 /dev/hda is equivalent to c: in Windows
 /dev/hdb is equivalent to d: and so on

The exception is if you have a CDROM or ["DVDROMs"] attached to the first IDE controller, those could be named as /dev/hda.

If your hard disk is attached to a second IDE controller, it will be named as /dev/hdc /dev/hdd

Nowadays, with SATA controllers, the drive may be named as /dev/hde /dev/hdf etc. Sometimes the IDE disks are /dev/sda (eg SiI RAID capable controller)

If you have SCSI hard disks, Linux names them as /dev/sda /dev/sdb etc.
