Devices not showing in 'my computer'

I have just installed Suse11 32 bit on my computer. I have never used Linux before.
I’m not sure if I this a problem or not…
On ‘My Computer’ under ‘Disk Information’ it only shows the Floppy drive. Unlike my wife’s computer, where I can see the various partitions and storage devices.
Does this have something to do with me having a SATA2 hard drive, whereas my wife has an IDE?
Thanks in advance

hey gilap,

I my self just installed SuSE 11 as well, also I never used Linux before…exciting world,eh?lol!

well, i just thought asking you this; when you click on the SuSE icon at bottom left corner> go to computer>then click on system information. it should show you some information about your PC, I don’t believe that there is a difference between the Sata and IDE, but i might be mistaken.

cheers
