Where did my drive go?

I removed gentoo to try out arch and so far so good. My linux drive /dev/sda apparently didnt work but the drive works as /dev/sdb, no issues those cause it works.

My windows drive is /dev/hdc and i cant find it anywhere. I ls /dev/ and theres no H anything. no hda, no hdc, nothing. Its in my grub and it boots windows when i pick the option so the drive isnt faulty or missing it just wont show in arch. It showed in gentoo this morning so i know it can be mounted in linux.

using works like M$ and Microsuck doesnt make you funny it makes you sound like a retard.

The current kernel uses libata and so all HDs are sd*. No more hd*.

the second says it happens with intel chipsets. I have an amd setup not intel, but yes my windows is now sda instead of hdc
