    I had an Iwill Side Raid controller 100 (HighPoint chipset). I lost the array
    configuration. I must make a backup disk to boot.
    Now I have replaced it by a 3ware Escalade 7506 Raid card 2 IDE channels. Each
    channel supports only one disk (no slave) but seems to be faster than the Iwill.
    It is not a SATA controller, IDE only.
