i was actually hoping you would edit your original posts with the attachments so people didnt have to scroll oh and i've read that the best method of integrating the drivers is to do it very last before making an .iso i read a little more of your post, and were you using a clean source? you should always start with a fresh, unmodified source when working as for drivers i would actually maybe recommend these here http://www.msfn.org/board/integration-inte...rs-t107504.html (Intel ICH7R/M, ICH8R/M, ICH9R/M or ICH10R/D S-ATA AHCI and RAID Controllers) i've got a v6000 series hp laptop and they worked for me
