In Linux, PATA (Parallel ATA) hard disk drives are represented as /dev/hda for the first drive, /dev/hdb for the second, and so on. The first primary partition on a drive is denoted by appending a 1, making /dev/hdb1 the correct representation for the first primary partition on the second PATA hard disk drive.
