@ boe323:
Why didn't you post a screenshot by using the "Attach file" option of the Forum?

is this bad ?

It depends on the SSD (vendor/sort) and the connected SATA Controller.

You should always take a screenshot of the results. This is the easiest way to compare different driver versions regarding their performance.

By the way: The CrystalDiskMark test is not the best, if you want to compare the performance of an SSD. Much better are the AS_SSD benchmark tool and Anvil's Storage Utilities.

Hello Fernando,
I want to get W2kPro to work on new Laptop ASUS R752LD, it has i7, 8GB Ram, Geforce GT720M, only AHCI in Bios, W8.1 and shows there VEN_8086_DEV_9C03&SUBSYS_15AD1043&REV_04\3&11583659&1&FA for Intel 8 Series Chipset AHCI. The long string after 9C03 is confusing for me. I tried it with slipstreamed DVD from blackwingcat (he has exkernel and (modded?) 8.9.0.1023 iastor.sys). I also tried with iastor 7.6 and with original german source, same result: My problem is txtmode setup, it freezes without BSOD with "Setup startet Windows 2000" before showing the harddisk. Can you give advice?

Thank you for answer. I will try this too. Could you nevertheless explain the complicated PVI\VEN string to me for understanding? I don't want to give up too soon with w2k. Which driver do you recommend for XP?

I mean the strings after ven and device: VEN_8086_DEV_9C03&SUBSYS_15AD1043&REV_04\3&11583659&1&FA . These I don't understand and I did not see them in any inf.file from Intel. Mostly I saw &CC_106 when trying to integrate in w2k.

Thank you for your explanation. I tried nlite wXP with RST 11.2 Intel drivers. It worked with brand new laptop! No freeze, no BSOD. Now I want to try with w2k. Should I only use iastor.sys form 11.2 driver and ahci.inf from 8.9 or should I try full 11.2?
Greetings from austria and thanks again!!

Hello,

When I installed Win7 on this system, I used the latest (13.1.0.1058) modded RST(e) drivers. Everything has been running perfectly for about a month or so. After reading the forum for a while, I've noticed the earlier RST drivers are actually recommended over the ones I'm currently running. Is there any advantage to downgrading the drivers to the simpler latest RST version (or whatever version is recommended for my motherboard)? I have a Plextor SATA DVD writer on the same Intel controller as the Samsung 840 Pro.

Thank you,
ClintE

Thanks for the prompt reply, and keep up the great work!
