Hi,

Nothing wrong in XP.
It showed "Disk 0" and "CD-Rom 0" on the lower right pane of disk management
which represents master Hdd on primary IDE channel and master CD-rom drive on
secondary IDE channel respectively. Some people may not be familiar with the
GUI as it doesn't show the primary and secondary IDE channel.

Belarc Advisor is a good tool to understand your OS, with detail info on
hardwares and softwares.
