Ultra 5 has IDE HD(s), you should use:
probe-ide
to check it out.

BTW, you should not give grade C for the comments, if you need help, post extra comment, the experts will try to help you out, keep in mind the experts might not live in the same timezone as you do, allow to have some kind of delay for answers.

Please spend a few minutes to learn how to grade a question at EE:
