Sata Drivers Windows Vista

Oct 16, 2008 My question is does SP 3 include support or SATA. Slipstreamed the F6 AHCI driver to the XP w/slipstreamed SP3. Racadm Command Line Tool there. File and put it into the windows drivers. This document describes installing native Serial ATA (SATA). See HP Notebook PCs - Problems with SATA Drivers When Downgrading From Vista to XP. Resident Evil 5 Keygen.

On any of the six systems of my own, one that just uses SATA and the other five use SATA RAID, none of them are recognized from the XP installation CD unless I either press F6 and load the drivers off of floppy, or integrate the drivers with either nLite or DriverPacks. This is the case even on reinstallations even though the hard drives are already formatted. I've reinstalled these systems many, many times and each time I need to load the driver.

Skyfrog: Just to make things clear: What people are asking for is genereic support for the feature in SATA drives called AHCI (*). AHCI is implementet in more and more new motherboards and complete systems. A lot of these pc's an laptops do not give the option to use 'normal mode' - the mode, you correctly state, does not care if it is an Parallel-ATA of Serial-ATA drive. AHCI support is NOT included in Windows XP.

Windows reports 'no harddrives found' on AHCI machines, ( Normal (S)ATA is of course included in a generic driver, that works with all major chipsets. ) The reason why people are crying out for this beeing a part of SP3 is simple: When installing XP, controller drivers that are not included, must be inserted via the F6 prompt.

This requires an actual floppy drive or BIOS ability to emulate a USB stick as floppy. The first is not present in most PC's - and definetly not in laptops - today. The latter requires quite some knowledge, and a BIOS willing to cooperate. The people who are most affected by this problem are ( since they can legally install an existing license on a new PC ): People who payed full price for a Retail Windows XP - and Business customers. MS has however stated that no new drivers will be included in SP3 - period.
