Hard Drive specification
 
Hey guys is it possible to determine the hard drive specification of a disk installed in a linux box?

What do you mean by "specifications" exactly? If you mean the partitioning info, you can get that with "fdisk -l". If you want things like manufacturer and model number, then try lshw. There are also graphical programs like kinfocenter that can tell you all sorts of things about your system.

Is there other commands that are built-in to linux or specifi distro's or any logs that would provide that info?

lshw, demidecode, lspci. See the manual for usage.

Also try 'smartctl -a /dev/sda', it'll tell you a lot of info, including model and serial number.
