All drivers and devices in Linux are simply files or folders. Usually a link to them will appear on your desktop when needed. For example if you plug in an external hard drive or insert a DVD. If not if you look in /dev/ you will find everything.

How many hard drives can Linux handle?
How many can you put in your computer? Linux can support massive servers with hundreds of hard drives. I believe the mainline kernel supports up to 702 hard drives, although patches are available for up to 3904 disks. You're far more likely to run into hardware limitations than you will with how Linux handles hard drives.
What is LVM in Linux?
LVM is a logical volume manager for the Linux kernel; it manages disk drives and similar mass-storage devices.
What company manufactures USB Flash drives that can be used with Linux?
Almost all USB Flash drives conform to the USB Mass Storage specification, which is has been supported in the Linux kernel since the 2.4 series. You would really have to go out of your way to find one that doesn't work in Linux. Any drive from Sandisk, Kingston, Lexar, or Samsung, as well as most el cheapo drives you can buy on eBay will work.
What is ddrecover?
You may be thinking about ddrescue which is a Linux CLI tool for recovering damaged files and drives.
If you have two hard drives how do you access the second drive?
I'm assuming your using Windows. You can see the drives by double clicking "My Computer" on your desktop. From there you can double click on the drives to see the contents. If you can't see the other drive, make sure its installed properly.
What is the difference between sda and hda in Linux?
Historically, hda was used for IDE drives and SDA was used for SCSI drives. Today, regardless of physical interface, all drives are treated as SCSI devices.
What OS does a supercomputer use?
Usually some distribution of Linux. Go to NASA's supercomputing section of their website and you will see that their 2 supercomputers run SUSE Linux. There are other examples, but historically Unix or Linux are most popular.
In what sequence should Linux and Windows XP be downloaded?
I suggest installing Windows, and then Linux (preferably on different physical hard drives). When Windows is installed it tends to overwrite the boot partition, making it difficult to boot linux afterwards.
Has development ceased for iPod Nano Linux?
The original iPod Linux project is inactive, but there are other projects out there that still work on the iPod nano. See the related links below.
What are the PS and pstree commands in Linux?
PS (see "man 1 PS") in Linux is a program that generally comes with the operating system that allows you to see information about the running processes. pstree is a program that lets you see the processes as a tree, to see which process started which other process, for example.
What other kind of software does Linux make?
Linux is not a company.
Where can one find reviews on scsi drives?
A person can find reviews on SCSI hard drives from several different places. Some of these places include CNET Reviews, Linux Lookup, and The Tech Report.
