Can someone recommend an eSATA PCI host adapter that has a built in

Ideally the card should have four eSATA ports and supports multiple

drives on each connection.
You missed the point.

If you cloned your old system to a raid
there will be no reference to the raid signature in boot.ini
as you were previously booting from a simple volume
Since the the boot adapter.
Although I know your system will not be able to boot until boot.ini
references the RAID signature, rather than a simple volume...I have no
idea how Windows actually assigns the signature.
What I am trying to explain is that I did NOT use Windows software RAID
to
build the volume. I am using hardware RAID and Windows XP sees the RAID
5
array as a single Basic Disk with a single bootable Active Simple
Partition.
That was obvious

Like I said if you had taken my advice you would have been up and
running days ago

I don't find any advice from a user named philo in this thread. The first
post you made that appears in my newsreader software is a complaint.

I have advice from other users to run FIXMBR. I have users indicating I
may need to adjust boot.ini and some advice on how to examine the partition
table. I don't have any post explaining any procedure that would
automatically recreate or adjust boot.ini. Maybe you need to repost
something.


You can review the thread in Google, if you have any doubts about
who posted what.
