see dmesg output , if your system automatically detect the hardware it will appear in dmesg output.

if it isn't detected zou need create the device node for the device.

cd /dev
mknod -m 660 hda b 3 0 # for block device ,

for character device change the "b" to "c"

if it's a hard disk you must create the device nod for evry partition on the disk , increment the minor number by 1

for example:
1. partition on the device
mknod -m 660 hda1 b 3 1
2.
mknod -m 660 hda2 b 3 2
and so on

Thanks dude!

You were right it wasn't detecting the ide so I did as you said and it solved the question.
