Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

I tried my slipstreamed WinXP Pro today and it worked. Nlite had no problem allowing me to choose the correct SATA drivers from the package I downloaded. Unlike Windows setup. Alas, there was no increase in speed, and possibly a decrease. In fact, now that I've reinstalled an image from Friday I'm

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Nlite is a fantastic program...used it many times myself. And it's free. Mike On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 3:56 PM, Tony B <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, I'd read the wikipedia entry. All Intel seems to be saying is > that, even though they give you three choices, you should only pick > one of tw

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Yes, I'd read the wikipedia entry. All Intel seems to be saying is that, even though they give you three choices, you should only pick one of two. i.e., "Install RAID Drivers" doesn't mean you necessarily want a RAID, and it'll work fine if you don't set one up. Like everything else, it's clear as

Interesting side note " Many SATA controllers can enable AHCI either separately or in conjunction with RAID support. Intel recommends choosing RAID mode on their motherboards (which also enables AHCI) rather than the plain AHCI/SATA mode for maximum flexibility, due to the issues caused when t

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Yes, just today, although I really don't want RAID, just AHCI. Setup stops saying it can't find any hard drives (bios shows them okay). It really shouldn't be this difficult for a mainstream board like Intel. On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 3:04 PM, Jeff Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Good luck with

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Good luck with Intel tech support. It's taken me months to get a solution for warranty support from them. It's a slow motion ballet of email messages. I gotta say tho', this is really odd. I've installed XP with SATA drives on probably a dozen different chipsets and never run into this in a non-

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Nope. This presents me with the same four F6 choices as the last one I downloaded. None match the chip the manual says I have. I tried one last night, then a different one just now. A few minutes later setup tells me it can't find any drives, press F3 to reboot. On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 12:06 AM, m

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Well, you may have *thought* you did, but like me, you probably had EIDE mode enabled for the SATA ports. This works, but then none of the SATA ports are using AHCI, so they're degraded - e.g. slower and not hot swappable. By default WinXP (even SP3) doesn't come with SATA (AHCI) drivers, so you co

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Yes, I tried that. Well, you _have_ to do this registry change to get Vista to use the SATA drivers at all. Oddly, on first boot it seemed to get all the way up, then it seemed to very nicely shut down. After that, nothing but 7B blue screens complaining about 'crcdisk.sys'. On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 a

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Tony, are you trying to install windowsXP from an original xp disk pre service pack's? I have installed windows xp on at least a dozen SATA only motherboards without any drivers. Also, I can't understand why your motherboard did not come with a cdrom. I don't think I have ever bought a new moth

OK, I got it. You disabled AHCI when you set it up. Switch off IDE emulation in the BIOS. Try this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** **

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

I think there should be a law. If you're going to sell a motherboard with SATA, and if WinXP still doesn't support SATA without a floppy, then dammit, pack a floppy with your board! The only reason you'd need a floppy with a DQ965GF is to set up a RAID on the SATA controller, correct me if I'm w

[rant] What a PITA. This Intel DQ965GF board, purchased 4/07, didn't come with any floppy disk (or files) despite the fact WinXP is still the most common OS. No problem, if their website responds to an obvious "DQ965 floppy drivers" query, but of course it doesn't. At the time I simply kicked the
