I have a HP dv5 notebook with an AMD chipset which I bought a few months ago.
Initially I successfully downgraded the notebook to XP 32 bit.
Running XP I had no problem seeing all drives in my TOWERRAID esata enclosure:

I just restored my notebook to the factory Vista 64 OS.
Now, I can only see a single drive in my external tower. (I was never running any RAID array in the tower - I just want to see all the drives).
For some reason the esata controller seems to no longer be capable of using the port multiplier feature with Vista 64 installed.
I do hope there is a workaround for this!
Many thanks if anyone has any suggestions
