This is an old system with only IDE ports. There is an added Highpoint
raid card which is used only for the two extra IDE ports. I have
upgraded it with a 1TB SATA drive and an IDE-SATA adapter. I did not
have any problems with the system recognizing the drive or adding it to
the mdraid. A short SMART test shows no errors.

Trying to get your configuration clear in my mind - the drives are 1TB
IDE, and they're attached to the m/b, or to the Hpt RAID card?
Also, did you update the system? New kernel? If so, is the RAID card
recognized (we've got a Hpt RocketRaid card in a CentOS 6 system, and
we're *finally* replacing it with an LSI (once it comes in), because Hpt
does not care about old cards, and I had to find the source code, and then
hack it to compile it for the new kernel, and have had to recompile for
the new kernels we've installed....
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.
