You can use the "Multiple driver" button as well, but you have to pay more attention as with the "Single driver" option (to prevent, that you get more drivers integrated than you want).

Yes.


Thanks for this additional information.

There is no problem at all, if you have integrated the textmode drivers.
You are right regarding the F6/floppy driver loading option. OEM Preinstall should be disabled in this case.

not tested it yet on the pc that has the intel controller only in virtual pc to make sure the cd actually works, the first time I downloaded your 64bit drivers ooops and I got a corrupt sys error on the driver, but now with 32bit that error is gone. I should be testing on this pc (different drive but on intel controller) before end of the week hopefully. Thanks for having the drivers as it would have been a pain to extract from intels floppy iso.

Howdy, new member here. I think it's amazing the effort people here go to to help others with problems -- I hope I'm as useful in my own areas of expertise.

Unfortunately, installing an OS isn't one of them. I've read this entire thread looking for info that will fix my install problem, but haven't been able to find it.

I just bought a used Acer Aspire 9800 laptop running Vista Ultimate. I need XP Pro for its reliability using high-end music apps, so I used Nlite to put together a slipstream disc incorporating the drivers from the Acer driver disk as well. I have been able to get the install to read the hard drives, format, and begin installation, but no matter what I do, the install hangs at the first reboot -- not even a BSOD, just black screen.

I made sure I used the Intel 8280GHM controller drivers the mobo uses. I have no options in BIOS regarding SATA drives (disabling AHCI, for instance); the Phoenix BIOS is very rudimentary and doesn't allow much user flexibility (can someone explain why I can buy a desktop and be allowed to tinker with it as if it is truly mine, but laptops are sold as if they really still belong to the manufacturer).

Because the install hangs at the same point every time, I suspect that there is a key driver missing, or an element in the drive recognition process I'm overlooking, but I can't figure out what it might be. I'm operating at about the edge of my knowledge and ability here. I'm getting desperate because I just found out the Vista image disks I made aren't bootable (if they require a working Vista to restore my Vista, I'm not sure what use they are), and the OEM Vista install disk that came with the laptop is a nonbootable upgrade. So now I don't have much choice about XP if I want this thing to be anything but a very large doorstop.

Any help is enormously appreciated, and many thanks in advance!

Hi Steve,
since your hdd has been detected by Windows XP Setup, you obviously had integrated the correct Intel S-ATA AHCI Controller driver. I think, that your issue was caused by another driver you had integrated.
My recommendation:
Create a new nLited XP CD with just the integrated Intel S-ATA drivers. Don't add any other driver.
If the installation should fail, try to additionally integrate the Intel INF (=chipset) drivers as PnP drivers.
Once Windows XP is up, you can install the other needed drivers for your system.

Good luck!
Fernando

I'll do just that and let you know -- thank you again!

--steve

I tried an install with just the Intel SATA driver. Got a BSOD on the first reboot, but after that it went to the exactly the same pattern as before: boot XP, "startup is restarting your computer," black screen.

I downloaded the Intel PNP files from your link in your terrific tutorial, but when I tried to open it I get the message "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installation of the software." I will try on another computer and see if I can just copy over th extracted files.

I figured it out in a totally inexplicable way, but maybe the knowledge will benefit others with the same problem. My laptop has 2 2GB RAM sticks. Something about the way it was hanging on boot reminded me of previous RAM issues I've had on other PCs. I had a feeling the install wasn't recognizing the RAM, or was conflicting with it somehow. So on a hunch I yanked the RAM and reinstalled a 1 GB stick. Bingo: the install completed!

I'm installing mfgr drivers now and will see if I can reinstall the 4GB RAM after XP is in and updated. Meantime, though, maybe this will help someone else. Thank you for your help, Fernando!

--steve

This is a known issue of any 32bit Windows OS, if you try to install it with 4GB of RAM.

Hi Fernando 1, can you update the intel raid/ahci drivers if you have the time?

In case you didn't know Intel recently update them to version 8.2.0.1001

Thanks for your suggestion. I have already recognized the new Intel textmode drivers, but since I am not at home for a while, the users of my guide have to wait some days.
I will update the linked drivers next week, when I am at home again.

Hi Fernando,

I am planning to integrate Intel AHCI drivers for IHC6R and ICH9DO chipsets.
-But I could not find a single Intel driver package with support for both.

So now I am thinking of integrating an old Intel driver package for IHC6R and a new driver package for ICH9DO
-However I looked a little into how nLite integrates these packages and I am not sure whether this work.
-One problem might be that all these driver names are the same.

Do you have a suggestion?

You are right. The integration of both Intel textmode driver versions (v8.2.0.1001 for the ICH9DO and v7.8.0.1012 for the ICH6R SATA AHCI Controller will be a problem, because the drivers themselves have the same name (IASTOR.SYS) and will be overwritten, when additionally copied into the i386 directory by nLite (the presence of the SYS file within this directory is necessary during the TEXTMODE part of the OS installation). As a consequence one of the Controllers (ICH6R or ICH9DO) will not be detected, if you integrate both driver versions.
Solution: You have to create 2 separate nLited CDs, 1 with integrated Intel textmode drivers v8.2.0.1001 (for the ICH9DO AHCI Controller) and 1 with integrated Intel textmode drivers v7.8.0.1012 (for the ICH6R AHCI Controller).


@ all users, who are using my guide (start post of this thread):

The guide now contains download links to the brandnew official Intel S-ATA and AHCI drivers v8.2.0.1001 dated 05/07/2008. As usual I have prepared them for an easy integration.

Have fun!
Fernando

I can tell you that latest driver is finally acting how it should.

I started using my ich7 controller about a year ago and I think was a 6.7 driver then, the driver actually turned off all write caching for all drives connected to the ich7 controller and also for all drives on my jmicron controller. So basically the pattern was write cache if you using raid otherwise the only way to use write cache was to use the ide compatible mode which uses microsoft generic drivers and no sata features.

The 7.8 driver stopped turning off write cache on the jmicron so was an improvement and I think forced on the basic write cache mode for drives on the ich7 controller bit still could not be toggled on/off via device manager.

Finally this 8.0 driver allows full control of write cache in device manager and if using dskcache tool can enable power protected write cache on all connected drives. So intel finally got a proper functioning driver, if you google ich7 +write cache you see what I mean in the past people complaining ghosted out write cache tick box when using ahci/raid mode.

@ Chrysalis:

Thanks for your comment about the development and abilities of INTEL's different textmode driver versions.
So it was obviously not a bad idea to update my guide with the links to the brandnew Intel S-ATA and RAID drivers.

Greetings
Fernando

Fernando,

Would appreciate some help regarding the nLite install of the Intel RAID drivers.

As far as I'm aware ,all steps necessary for a successful integration have been carried out

However, at the finalizing stage of nLite,an error message crops up every time , indicating nLite has to close etc.

The whole procedure has been lost at least 6 times because of this- time to stop.

The only meaningful part of the very lengthy error report for me was the mention of an "appcompat.text" error.

By elimination,I have narrowed the fault down to the integration of the Intel TextMode Raid Drivers,which is all that was slipstreamed,nothing else at all!
The addition of the Intel INF drivers does not help either.
Textmode is enabled.

Have used the latest drivers containing txt.setup.oem.

No malware is present.

Thanks

Hairy

edit;My reading of the Intel instructions indicates that a text file containing the following ;

"[MassStorageDrivers]
"Intel® 82801IR/IO SATA RAID Controller" = OEM

[OEMBootFiles]
iaStor.inf
iaStor.sys
iaStor.cat
Txtsetup.oem"

should be added to the drivers file for unattended installs.

Is this at all relevant?.Is it the same as the TxtSetup.OEM File?

However, it made no difference in my case.

So you couldn't even successfully finish the work of nLite?
Then you have done something wrong, which certainly has nothing to do with the Intel textmode drivers themselves.
Did you use a clean source, that means an Original MS XP CD with or without SP? This is absulutely necessary. nLite is not able to work with an already processed source.
Are you sure, that the XP source you have used, was not already customized for you and other users by adding some software, tools, tweaks, updates etc.? This would explain the error message you got.

If you do what I have written within my guide (downloading and unzipping the linked 32bit driver, then integrating the content as textmode driver and choosing the suitable Controller), everything should work fine. nLite will do everything which is needed. You should not add or edit any file!

Yes, the original clean XPSP2 and the 100% correct procedure was carried outthroughout.

The problem is strange because even if there is some other conflict somewhere to do with enabling RAID,nLite can insulate its own processes ,surely, from any other issues.

Have tried every possible method-,using JMicron controller for the C drive prior to installing the RAID drivers on the Intel controller-using a new Windows install using F6-using Shadow Protect F6 etc-all fail.

I'm running AHCI mode,which was installed by placing the iastor driver into win32/drivers plus a registry fix,wondering if that may have something to do with it,as iastor is already in place-but it shouldnt affect nLite..
Probably the AHCI driver should have been used.

If I cant fix will have to try the Gigabyte/Micron RAID controller unwilllingly

Thanks and any further thoughts would be appreciated.

edit;have removed the AHCI reg fix and iastor driver and will plod on !!

In this case I don't understand, why you ran into problems while processing with nLite.

If you should not even be able to get XP installed by using the F6/floppy method, you obviously haven't taken the correct textmode driver or did not choose the suitable Intel S-ATA Controller within the popup window you get during the installation.

Your currently running configuration has nothing to do with your troubles you get, when you try to install XP by using any textmode driver.

Since you are obviously running XP now, it would be a good idea to run the Device Manager, to open the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" and "SCSI and RAID Controllers" sections and to look for devices with the name "Intel" in it.
Do you see any of them? If yes, which ones?

Fernando

.

Not obvious at all!

Your textmode drivers were used and the correct controller, ICH9r RAID,was chosen.
As said before-all the usual stuff was double checked and carried out correctly,including that Textmode was enabled,


Have not tested this,but think XP F6 was unsuccessful because existing drivers ie iastor(For use with AHCI) were already present-this was the case when using Shadow protect F6 failed,which announced the fact.




Ahem-the only one not showing is the RAID controller-as I'm again using AHCI mode the Intel ICH 9r/DO/DH/ SATA ACHI controlller is present.
If the SCSI and RAID Controllers were present-I obviously wouldnt have any problems ,after all.



OK ,ignoring any other problems which are a different matter -all could be solved if nLite would work for me and as I said,it should function independently of outside conflicts by and large.

I dont understand either and was hoping this problem may have been encountered by someone else-but it seems not..

Previously have used nLite successfully on many occasions installing Intel INF drivers,but not the RAID ones.

I am running perfectly on a slipstreamed XPsp3 created by nLite 1.45 using the same master XP2 disk and NEVER had any problems until now.

Did further tests-used a previous version of nLite-still no good.My version in use is 1.46.

However using Win 2000 instead of XP2-success!!

My XPsp2 disk is a perfect, clean,legal,faultless validated version, as I said, used many times before for slipstreaming.

So there is the fault location.

FOR ME;

nLite and Windows itself,as a Windows fault message appears- will not allow integrating the Intel Raid drivers with XPsp2,but will with Win2000.

Will try to activate RAID by installing temporarily the 2000/RAID slipstream on an external disk connected to the jMicron/Gigabyte IDE controller to bypass the Intel controller.

@ hairy coo:

What you have written sounds very strange for me.
1. Why did you try to integrate the Intel ICH9R RAID Controller, when you obviously don't run your computer in RAID mode (no Intel RAID Controller shown within the Device Manager of your running XP partition)?
2. You can run nLite on different computers with different chipsets and different Windows Operating systems and can integrate a bootable XP CD for everyone. nLite doesn't check, if a driver you are going to integrate is already present within your current OS or even useful for your hardware configuration.
3. I repeat it: Since you get the error message while processing with nLite, you must have done something wrong (use of an already treated source?). Millions of nLite users cannot be wrong. The tool works, but certainly will fail, if the user makes a mistake (or has a hardware issue).
4. Your report, that nLite successfully finished its work, if you take a Windows 2000 CD as source, boosts my suspicion, that you haven't used a clean XP CD.

My suggestion once more:
Boot off the original XP CD and load the Intel textmode driver by F6/floppy. Then you will know, if the used Intel textmode driver and the chosen Intel S-ATA Controller is the correct one for your current hardware configuration and BIOS settings.
Furthermore you will realize, if your XP source has already been treaten before. You may look into the i386 folder of the XP CD - if you find a file named WINNT.SIF, your CD is already prepared for an unattended install and cannot be used neither with nLite nor by F6/floppy (during the installation process you will get the message, that the IASTOR.SYS cannot be copied).

If your work with nLite should fail again, you might try another CD creating tool.

Good luck!
Fernando

Fernando

Your replies are appreciated,but regrettably we are going round in ever diminishing circles without achieving anything
I keep saying all my steps are correct (its really not nuclear physics after all), including the drivers choosen -and my copy of XP is perfect,but you persist in questioning all of this.

I was asking for some new answer and was quite happy to acknowledge some unique problem which someone may have also experienced, but obviously all this must be unknown.

Anyway,thanks for your effort-I will solve the problem-pointless going over old ground yet again.

You are not the first user, who posted, that he has done everything as layed down within my guide, but nevertheless ran into troubles. All other users, who succeeded with the integration of the Intel textmode drivers by using my guide and the tool nlite, definitively have been wrong or just been lucky.
Thanks for your efforts to enlighten our knowledge.

Nuhi as the developer of nLite, all innocent users of this tool and particularly me as the starter and supporter of this thread will be very grateful, if you would publish the perfect way how these things should be done!

Good luck!
Fernando

Does this also work with Media Center Edition? would I have to combine both windows install disks to a single image, or can I get away with just disc 1?

thanks!

Both methods should be possible.

Fernando,

You seem to insist in dragging this out quite uneccessarily,as I already said I would solve the problem myself.

Regrettably your inflammatory reply adds nothing of value, but seems to illustrate your approach when an issue occurs outside your field of knowledge.

The other person is just not telling the truth and of course must also be completely wrong -quite simple-problem solved-a winning formula

If you take the trouble to really read posts instead of rushing in with your dogmatic answers,you will note that I was careful to give examples that nLite does work for me and has done so.

I am in fact running on a perfect nLited XPsp3 -as I mentioned,



ONLY with the RAID drivers did I have problems and ONLY with XP2.
I also inferred it could be a Windows issue,as a Windows error message appeared


If I could give you some well meant advice

Instead of taking a problem to which you dont have an answer personally -may I respectfully suggest that in future you would be better served by listening and then deciding if in fact you have anything to offer.

If its outside your knowledge ,just admit it instead of wasting everyones time. Everyone has their limitations!!

Good luck to you in your self appointed role of playing the "expert"-some more friendly advice-try changing your attitude for better results.
Also try to be accurate in stating what the other person has in fact said,rather than misquoting them- in order to achieve some credibility.

best regards

hairy

@ hairy coo:

Although I have started this thread by writing the guide, I am not an expert in everything and some of my advices may be wrong. Nevertheless I am trying to help everyone, who is asking for it by posting into this thread. Exactly this is what I have done in your case too, but I couldn't really help you, because I have never heard or seen such an issue report.

The sarcasm of my last post was due to fact, that you always insisted in having done everything correctly, which consequently means, that your issue must be caused by nLite or by a wrong advice within my guide.
Maybe I misunderstood you. In this case you will get my apology. It wasn't my intention to insult you.

Conclusion: I cannot help you to solve your problem, but I am pretty sure, that your issue has nothing to do with the integration of the Intel textmode drivers, which is the topic here.

hi thanks for this thread ....

i have toshiba laptop satelite A200-1NH come with VIsta home pRE ON IT as i dont like vista i want to put XP but when i try to install and boo from CD i got the problem that no HDD detected

well i fallowed all the steps as montined in the instrction dowlod all the driv add them to m cd with Nlite but the problem i got with the new CD says that

*** the File iaStor.sys is corrupted *****

I made over 5 cds and all time same message any help please how to slove that

thanks in advance

As per my previous posts,I was currently unable to load RAID or any type of drivers using nLite.

As before I was completely successful-I searched for a conflict and the only extra app. installed since success, was Threatfire,an anti spyware and malware tool.

Since disabling Threatfire,everything is back to normal.

I will post a new thread in case this may help someone else.

You get this message, when you integrate/load a 64bit driver onto a 32bit OS.
Within my guide you find links to the newest 32bit and 64bit Intel textmode drivers. You have to take the 32bit version.


That is a good idea.
Fine, that you found at least the reason for your problems.

I'm installing Win xp 64 on my Vostro 1710 (sata/ahci) and I'm getting Iastore.sys error this is Intel file and it is necessary for installation how can I import that file there ? actually there are 3 files which has to been imported iaStor.sys, iaStor.cat, Txtsetup.oem

Which sort of error message did you get?

1. If the message was like "The file IASTOR.SYS is corrupt", you obviously have taken the 32bit driver version. This doesn't work with a 64bit OS.
   Solution: Integrate the 64bit driver version (link is within the start post).
2. If the message was like "Could not copy the file IASTOR.SYS", you either have burnt a currupted CD (too hiigh speed) or may have created an unattended install CD and have tried to load the textmode driver by using the F6/floppy method.
   Solution: Burn your CD with lower speed. Don't hit F6 and don't insert a floppy.

Hi Fernando, thank you very much for this guide. I am wanting to setup a dual boot system, first by installing XP, and then Vista. Currently I am running XP on the Intel D975XBX2 mobo, with 4 drives in Matix RAID array. I am upgrading to the Intel DX48BT2 mobo, which is DDR3 mem and ICH9R. Also, no floppy drive, which is why I am needing your help. I just noticed the note about the 4 gigs of memory for a 32-bit OS and that is what I am going to be using, 2x2gig of 1600 Mhz DDR3, that Intel says must be installed in both dimms in channel B.

Do I have to buy new memory just to install XP on this board, or can I use the DDR2 that I am currently using in the 975 board? I do not think x48 supports.

Thank you, Dave

No, why do you think so? The OS Setup may be influenced by the RAM size (32bit Windows Operating Systems cannot address more than 3 GB), but not by the RAM type (DDR2 or DDR3).

If you should get problems while installing Windows XP or Vista onto your new system, you should just remove 1 RAM stick. Once the OS is up, you can reinsert it.

Thanks again Fernando! Just finished installing XP from the boot CD that I created by using this guide. Everything went smooth. Now I just need to figure out how to create dual boot XP/Vista.....

Kudos, Dave

@ all users of my guide:

Since Intel recently has released new official Intel Storage Manager drivers v8.2.3.1001, I have updated again my guide (first post of this thread) and uploaded the newest textmode drivers.

If you have an ICH7-10 chipset Intel S-ATA/RAID Controller and follow the download links of my guide, you will get Intel's newest S-ATA and RAID drivers - as usual already prepared for an easy integration.

Good luck!
Fernando

Hello!
very usefull post and nice info thank you all!!

After reading it I managed to overcome the iaStor.sys error at the setup of win XP to an Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi2428.
Using an original XP cd with SP2, added with textmode the appropriate drivers and installation completed with no errors.

My problem is that when I tried to add both service pack 3 and drivers and make an unattended installation, when istallation begin I got again the error that iaStor.sys can not be loaded (although I can see my HDD and iastor.sys is loaded and start the install)
Is there any way to use nlite for both drivers AND sp3 or I should install SP3 afterwards??

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
D.

@ simeon_001:

What you have written is very interesting, because I didn't know about this issue. Maybe the current nLite version has still a problem with the integration of SP3, if done simultaneously with the integration of the Intel textmode drivers.
Only solution I see: Don't do the integration at once.
I will contact Nuhi regarding this problem.

CU
Fernando

Hi!
thanks for the quick reply!
I will test today to integrate SP3 to the CD that I have already integrate the drivers and it is working (not simultaneously as i tried before) and I will let you know the results... (integrade SP3 and afterwards the drivers is not working for sure as I have already tried it)

Thank you,
D

As far as I know this issue has nothing to do with nLite, but with the SP3 package installer built by Microsoft.
Some users reported about big differences, if they used the "golden" XP RTM version , XP SP1 or XP SP2 as source for the SP3 integration.

simeon_001, that is weird, mainly because then everyone would report it, and it simply works the same, be it SP2 then drivers or SP3 then drivers.
Maybe you did something different this time, anyway slipstream SP3 into the clean, not previously modified SP2, then the drivers. If it fails attach the i386\txtsetup.sif file from that failed ISO for me to look.
If that is fine then it might be that the sys file itself got corrupted somehow so you might extract the i386\iastor.sy_ and compare to the iastor.sys from the original driver folder.

wow thanks for the update info, even navigating intels site normally I couldnt find the 8.3 drivers, I had to follow the link you provided. I will try these out but I am so happy with the 8.0 right now.

IT WORKED!!!
I have to note that this time I burned the CD at 8X

thank you!!!

All I can say to Fernando 1 is thanks very much, for your very usefull guide.
I need to express my appreciation to Nuhi for his excellent tool.

Hi fernando, long time since my last message here:
http://www.msfn.org/board/Integration-of-I...769#entry737769

i had same problem after starting to use livexp instead of bartpe (both winpe )

i was just postin a new message to you with new iaahci.inf file i created (with your and galapos help), i started to read the 1st message to see if any new update there, so there it is (poor me after working on some days ) http://kerneltrap.org/node/7582

i confirm the message there too, it is the same iaAHCI.INF file i created (i mean adds are the same), Both "AsusP5B" and "Intel® Desktop Board DG965RY" uses 82801HB in ahci mode with same hwid. "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106"

To solve LiveXP problem; LiveXP uses DPs driver pack, DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_805.7z (extract, change, repack)
adding new iaahci.inf file to D\M\I3\
and in DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini
at [I3] section in line "ms_1_hwids=" adding VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106 to the end, than repack.

i also informed Dps team, thanks to Galapo and Jaak.

i checked Intel_textmode_drivers_32bit_v8.2.3.1001_repacked_by_Fernando.zip for hwid, still no support from intel i guess.

This message is for informing you, thanks to your good work.

@ Lancelot_Real:

Thank you very much for your updated informations regarding the AHCI support of Intel ICH8 chipset mainboards.
As you probably may have seen, I have added some informations for ICH8 users to my guide.

The best and easiest way to help other users with ICH8 S-ATA Controllers would be, if you would upload the already "modded" IAAHCI.INF and TXTSETUP.OEM on the basis of the actual driver version 8.2.3.1001 to RapidShare or another Hoster (as Akkuma had done it here for the older version).
Then I would just add the links to my guide.

Thanks again!
Fernando

http://www.filefactory.com/file/a313bb/n/ICH8_Ahci_rar

includes 2 files:
Intel_textmode_drivers_32bit_v8.2.3.1001_repacked_by_Fernando_Added_ICH8_Ahci_Support.rar
7.8.0.1012_Added_ICH8_Ahci_Support.rar

i tested both with bartpe (regular) and worked perfectly.

please check my work, as i am not an expert about the subject.

ps:
http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/313057.htm
in the pdf file, at page 11, there is info showing 2824h id, god knows when intel add this to its driver package.

@ Lancelot_Real:

Thank you very much for your quick reply and for preparing and uploading the drivers with customized IAAHCI.INF and TXTSETUP.OEM files.
On the basis of yours and Galapo's work I have prepared a small package, which contains the 32bit and 64bit Intel textmode drivers v8.2.3.1001 customized for the use with ICH8 chipsets.
Here is it: http://rapidshare.com/files/128342349/Inte...r_ICH8.zip.html

Although your linked drivers obviously worked fine with your chipset, I have done some minor modifications hoping, that this won't have any negative effect:

1. To make it easier to find the correct Controller, I have named it "Intel® ICH8 SATA AHCI Controller Fernando-Galapo" (instead of "Intel® 82801HB SATA AHCI Controller Fernando-Galapo").
2. Additionally I have removed some "_RAID" entries, which somehow were within the "ICH8 82801HB_Galapo" part of your IAAHCI.INF file (if these add-ons are needed, please let me know it).

Before I am going to add the download link to these modded drivers into my guide, I would like to get your feedback again. Please have a look into the modded driver files again and test them, if you have the time.

Your work is a great help for all users with an ICH8 chipset mainboard, who want to use the AHCI features. Thanks again!

Greetings
Fernando

As fast as possible,
i made 2 trials,
1st with the 32bit ones you provided, works fine
2nd with deleting %PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106.DeviceDesc% = iaStor_mobl_Inst, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106 lines
(looked for mbl reference in pdf and i saw no mobile device for hwid 2824, i guess no problem in future too)


1- No problem for changing names (2824h signature is not for mobile)
maybe this one would be nice too: Intel® ICH8 SATA AHCI Controller Fernando-Galapo (82801HB)
2- No problem in changing _RAID (2824h is not for raid, it was a mistake)

you can do whatever you want in naming, np for me

advice:
the pdf file (313057.pdf) at http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/313057.htm is nice to learn about ICH8, i saved this file in name:
"Intel IO Controller Hub 8 (ICH8) Family Specification Update_313057.pdf" on my pc in case of any other ICH8 probems.


For all users reading this message:
Intel Sata AHCI controller of 82801HB is added to Fernando 1's repacked drivers. you can get it from the 1st Post of this subject.

@ Lancelot_Real:

That's great - I didn't expect your reply as soon!
As soon as possible I will add the customized drivers to the first post of this thread.
EDIT: Done!

Regards
Fernando


@ all:

Users with an Intel ICH7/ICH8/ICH9 (without "R" or "M") chipset mainboard, who want to use their Intel S-ATA ports at "AHCI Mode", will find customized 32/64bit textmode drivers within my guide (first post of this thread).
Since I don't know, if these modified drivers will work for you, I need your feedback!

Good luck!
Fernando

After some good installations or re-installations first no lucks.
I tried an Abit IX38 GuardGT with the following controllers:

Intel® ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 2926
Intel® ICH9 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 1 - 2920
JMicron JMB363 Sata / Pata Controller.

I integraded all the textmode drivers for ICH9R/M and JMicron but
I got the message : iastor.sys is corrupted.

Any advise?

PS: I must add that I integraded all the controllers for the win_CD
could be used for as many chipshets.
