  It seems to be fairly common for ATA-100 controllers to be seen as
SCSI by OSes in the NT/2K/XP series.  As long as things seem to be
working otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.
  The only time I've seen this cause any problem was when there was
*also* an actual SCSI controller in the system.  In that case, the
BIOS and the OS disagreed about what hardware was the "first SCSI
controller" -- it works, but it took some hand-tweaking of the
BOOT.INI file.
