I have connected a laptop hdd to another laptop using a usb to ata
converter cable.  The laptop has an sata drive and the internal drive i
have hanging off the usb cable is ata, and "fdisk -l" does not recognise
the device at all, but WinXP does see it OK when I boot into Windows.

Does the USB to ATA converter cable need a kernel driver or is there
perhaps an issue with seeing ATA drives when the inbuilt is SATA?
