The problem isn't affecting the way your computer runs, does it?

What you see is normal. You have the hard drive connected to an "enhanced"
controller. All IDE hard drives are see this way when connected as such.

So, enjoy your computer and don't look for non-existent problems.

The IDE RAID controller causes this. The same thing happens with Promise
add in IDE RAID controller cards. It is normal.
