Default Why are my IDE drives SCSI?

BTW: This is off topic! SCSI is much better than IDE. SCSI can handle
multiple commands to multiple drives at the same time. IDE must stop all
reads/writes if you are trying to access the second drive on the IDE channel
(Master or Slave drives).

I have 2 hard drives and 2 cd drives and all are IDE. But when I look at
the properties of all 4 drives they all say SCSI.
I have the usual set up HD1 is in location 0 primary master HD2 is in
location 1 primary slave
CD1 is in location 0 secondary master CD2 is in location 1 secondary
slave.

Is this something I should worry about? I thought IDE is better than SCSI?
Does anyone know how I can change them back to IDE?

thanks

Gary
