David, I assume that your host OS is windows. As far as I know, Windows treats IDE (actually, ATAPI) and SATA devices as just another kind of hard disks.
(In fact, NT4 was notorious for listing IDE-ATAPI devices as SCSI , but it was just a cosmetic thing :)). My guess, and it´s just a guess, is that Virtualbox guets see all disks and devices as IDE...
