Hello,
I'm doing a fresh install of Windows and would like to install the AHCI drivers beforehand
I'd prefer not to do it the post windows installation way (changing the registry, etc.)
I even bought a Microsoft specific compatible floppy drive to load the F6 drivers.
I think I'm stuck at a certain point tho, I'm able to see a list of drivers for AHCI and RAID, but don't know which driver to install as there's more than one.
Here they all are:
Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology is designed to provide
functionality for the following Storage Controllers:
RAID Controllers:
- Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller
- Intel(R) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller
- Intel(R) ICH7MDH SATA RAID Controller
- Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA RAID Controller
AHCI Controllers:
- Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) 5 Series 4 Port SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) 5 Series 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) ICH10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) ICH10R SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller
- Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA AHCI Controller
I chose the desktop/workstation/server express chipset
but after windows was installed, I looked in device manager and there wasn't a sata controller present,
If anyone could help me out with this, that would be great.
Thanks
