It would be nice if you could share a link to the "BlackWingCat's Ahci/Raid driver" you used.

His site is in Japanese:
http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/

and it's not really "immediate" to find something on it.

OT, but FYI, while I was looking for the drivers, completely failing to find them, unless you were talking about these ones:

http://blog.livedoor...ves/813816.html


I found this one:
http://209.85.129.132/translate_c?&ie=...ves/864112.html

Which seems to me a pretty straightforward way to get quicly some info on unknown devices.

Ciao Jaclaz!

Hum, I see what you mean... And unfortunately, I did keep notice of all adresses for downloads, but BlackWingCat's site has moved meanwhile.

This page looks like the one I used:
http://blog.livedoor...ves/813816.html
even better, it already was called 813816 then.

In this page, ダウンロードlinks to http://files.me.com/theblackcat/y53fv3 which proposes a file of nearly the size I downloaded, corresponding to Intel's v7.6.0.1011. Since 2009年04月17日 it may have changed on 8th Sep, 2009: Fix add Intel® ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller



If you download it (20MB, I didn't do it again) it shall look like a usual Intel driver, except that for instance the contained Winall\Driver\IaStor.sys has an invalid signature (logically enough) and an added CustomizerCopyright. I checked (for a previous version) that it calls only entries available from W2k, as opposed to what Intel's original does. Well done!

Maybe BWC passes by and tells us more...

Did you notice? Internet addresses will be allowed to contain non-Latin letters. This will certainly make life much easier for Japanese people.
