It was originally a pair of 500GB IDE drives in an mdraid mirror configuration. Right now, I have removed one 500GB drive and replaced it with a 1TB SATA drive with an IDE-SATA adapter. Both drives are connected to the Highpoint card and apparently working fine other than the boot-up problem. I was considering adding an SATA card to the system, but I didn't want to deal with finding drivers for a card old enough to work with this system (32-bit PCI). I have not done any updates to the system in quite some time. -- Bowie
