List all harddrives in a linux system [closed]

Tags:

I'm having problems to detect which one of my block devices is the hard drive. My system has a cd-rom drive, USB drives, and a single hard drive of unknown vendor/type.

How can I identify the hard drive with a linux command, script, or C application?
