Fernando. Answered my own question. Accidentally downloaded the Windows 7 and later drivers. Once I used the proper drivers it worked as expected. Just replaced all controller instances with these in update driver mode, restarted and set the BIOS to AHCI and now I got some speed! Thanks a lot!

First time posting, and may I say I really appreciate you doing stuff like this.

A couple of questions and please excuse my ignorance. But first some background.

We have a variety of brand new DELL XPS laptops which have different nvme hard drives. Some samsung, some toshiba. They ship with RAID ON and windows 10. We downgraded them to Windows 7 with RAID ON which was an ordeal in itself. We had problems with whole disk encryption and McAfee told us to set it to AHCI which bluescreens the box. So we switched to the SAMSUNG NVMe driver instead of the intel raid controller and so far so good. Problem is some laptops have the Toshiba drive and won't work with the Samsung driver. So we keep RAID ON for those.

Here are the questions, and again excuse my ignorance. Is it possible to use one driver for both RAID ON and AHCI? I tired juggling them live but it bluescreens whenever I make the change in the BIOS. The XPS have an Intel 100 chipset.

I'm assuming for a brand new laptop, I should use the latest drivers you modded? Or are the older ones more stable?

My goal is to have one image which will work with AHCI since McAfee won't support WDE with RAID ON. But the Toshiba NVMe drives messed me up since I can't find native toshiba drivers. So i googled univeral ahci drivers and found this thread but I'm still having problems. I installed your latest driver, but it still bluescreens when I set the BIOS to AHCI.

Thanks.

Is it possible to mod the Intel RSTe drivers (v4.3) because they are the only drivers newer than RST 13/14 series without that annoying APM problem using Samsung F3 HDDs?

Hi Fernando. I recently bought an ssd drive and I installed windows 10.
My motherboard is asus p5kc and my processor intel e8400. I installed p5kc-1203_slic-ahci_v2 rom before I installed windows, I changed in bios from ide to ahci controllers and when I entered windows I checked and I saw that I have storahci instead of iastor.
I tried to install your drivers Universal Intel RST Drivers+Software Set v11.2.0.1006 mod+signed by Fernando, I did setup the win-raid certificate, but when I try to install theς drivers, It stops with a message "the setup program failed to install one or more device drivers. Setup will exit."
Am I doing sth wrong? Is there a way I can install the drivers?

Thank you so much, I thought I had to setup in order to enter the drivers.
Everything went perfect, thanks for your advice and for your great effort!

Can you mod the recently released drivers (version 4.5.4.1031 WHQL) because the v4.3 drivers are over 1 year old?

---

Here are the requested download links.
Any feedback from users, who have tried one of these mod+signed drivers, is much appreciated!

Here is how you disable APM.
You can either edit it directly on the registry or create a txt file and name the file with extension .reg and run it.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorA\Parameters\Device]
"EnableAPM"=dword:00000000

Now I can use the newest "normal" IRST drivers

All modded 32/64bit Intel AHCI/RAID drivers, which I am offering here, have been digitally signed by me according to mrces2's guide (not available for the public)

Ok


But it's a pity ... I just wanted to make a win7 screen drivers compatible with win8 / 8.1 / 10 ... I'll look if there are no other solutions ...
