Sanjiv,

I know of two places that have hard disk information,  The "Device Manager"
(can be found by right clicking on "My Computer" and selecting Properties
from the menu, then selecting "Device Manager" tab)and the other is the
"System Information" tool, found from the "Start => Programs => Accessories
=> System Tools => System Information.  Expand the "Components" then select
storage for information on all of the hard disks, floppy disk etc.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
