Did this just work??? I've not had chance to read through the entire thread but I've tried the download and it's looking good so far.

I have an old KN9 Ultra MB in 1 off my machines. I've just decided to upgrade to windows 8.1... Don't ask why! the MB uses the nvidia chipset, mcp55, nForce 570, NV gigerbit lan and it's always ran a Raid Stripe. My first install of 8.1 worked but load times were stupidly longer than expected. Checking the event logger I could see all kinds errors nvraid event id11 multiple times in 1 boot being the main 1. Strange that the Raid still worked, loaded but times were not acceptable. I've spent 2 days solid and another day after sleeps messing about with this and have only just stumbled on this Forum. You guys are amazing for making these modded drivers. Thank you.

The PC has a AMD 3.2 ghz 6400+ dualcore so runs quite fast for it's age so worth the hassle.

A few questions I have are, should I be loading the other modded drivers too, lan etc? i unticked that option but will I see improved performance there?
My MB is described on abit page as 3gb/s via raid but in the manual it hints that each sata port is 3gb/s. Are the ports sata 1 or sata 2? The 2 drives in the raid are 1.5 gb/s sata 1 but I also have a sata 2 drive in this machine. Will the sata 2 drive be running at 3gb/s or just 1.5gb/s? I did try an install of 8.1 with all the raid functions turned off, just to double check that was my issue, the errors went away. My thoughts were, if the MB can see 3gb/s with out the raid on each port, using this drive should be quite similar and probably a better option.

AND. thank you, thank you so much!

Unfortunately NVIDIA has never compiled an nForce SATA driver for the NVIDIA nForce SATA Controller DEV_0550

My question has been answered. Thank you for your input Fernando.

I guess it's time for me to retire this older chipset, and look into something newer.

Thanks for the drivers, been using them in Windows 7, but in 8.1 and 10 I sticked to Microsoft IDE drivers since I was afraid to install them... and my question is, would this work on Windows 10 ? I have nForce 430 MCP on ASUS M2N Motherboard

Well I took the risk and installed them.

Aaand, they work flawlessly, I don't see any errors in Event viewer and I've reached random read speed in one of my drives with over 70mb's and I never experienced that with older MS generic drivers.

Thank you again Fernando :)

just installed W10 on my old htpc ACER REVO RL100, which has and ion card with nvdia nforce 520le chipset. The problem is i cant connect by ethernet at 1gb when the hardware is capable. Is there anyway to mod the inf file or whatever to force w10 to get 1gb connection? In properties it only appears combinations between 10 and 100 mbs (FD&HD) nor 1000mbs :( .
thx a lot for the help

Hello & hi everyone!

-This is my first post here, so I'm sorry if I'm replying to an old topic.

@Fernando

-What's your take on nForce SATA Driver v11.2.20.9? You can get it here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?m=K50ID (select Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) > Chipset > 2012.05.25 Update). The archive names are: Chipset_HDD_BUG_Fix_Win7_32_Z512600171.zip (x86-32) and Chipset_HDD_BUG_Fix_Win7_64_Z512600171.zip (x86-64)

-The target of interest are the contents in Chipset_HDD_BUG_Fix_Win7_32_Z512600171\IDE\Win7\sata_ide folder (or Chipset_HDD_BUG_Fix_Win7_64_Z512600171\IDE\Win764\sata_ide for 64-bit); all other drivers/files seem even older than nForce Driver Package v15.56 or v15.58.

-My own observations:
1. The driver version is 11.2.20.9 with date stamp of 05/18/2012 (newer than 11.1.0.44 in the pack here)!
2. The nvstor32.inf/nvstor64.inf (INF file) seems to contain most nForce SATA controllers Device IDs by default (a.k.a unified driver);
3. However, it also seems this version is built upon an older driver codebase as:
3a. the copyright notice in the INF and the DLL/SYS (file Properties > Details tab) are stating "Copyright (C) 2002-2009 NVIDIA Corporation", as opposed to "Copyright (C) 2002-2010 NVIDIA Corporation" in 11.1.0.4x drivers;
3b. with the exception of the SYS file (core/actual driver), all the DLL files are smaller in size than those from 11.1.0.4x;
4. The "EnableQueryAccessAlignment" registry entry (a DWORD with value of 0x00000001) is missing from the INF;
5. And, it also contains an event tracing MANIFEST file (nvetw.xml) - maybe for debugging - which will be installed together!
6. Lastly, it's signed by nVidia itself, not Microsoft WHQL lab (thus our confirmation will be asked during installation)...

-As from the download page itself, it's originally intended for Asus K50ID notebook, which has nVidia MCP79D chipset (as often, no changelog too). But I installed it on an Acer Aspire 4530 (that has MCP77MH with GeForce 9100M G) with Windows 7 32-bit (in AHCI mode, of course) and have no issues so far.

-So, any take on this?


Thanks & regards,
-Musafir_86.

-Thanks for your effort, but sorry, I already returned the system (an Acer Aspire 4530 laptop) back to its owner... :(

Thanks so much Fernando, for going to the effort of making these driverpacks, people like you make the internet great!!

Since you have updated the page including the new v10 driver packs the links are now broken..

see example below:

B. Mod+signed nForce Driverpacks
 
1. "NF4-7 non-AHCI Performance Driverpacks for Win7-10"
 
    [url=]>32bit NF4-7 non-AHCI Performance Pack v10.0 for Win7-10 x86<[/url] (>MIRROR<)
    [url=]>64bit NF4-7 non-AHCI Performance Pack v10.0 for Win7-10 x64<[/url] ([url=]>MIRROR<[/url])
 
2. "NForce AHCI Driverpacks for Win7-10"
 
Here are the download links to these Driverpacks:
 
    [url=]>32bit nForce AHCI Driverpack v10.0 for Win7-10 x86<[/url] ([url=]>MIRROR<[/url])
    [url=]>64bit nForce AHCI Driverpack v10.0 for Win7-10 x64<[/url] ([url=]>MIRROR<[/url])
 

 

Is this because you are in the middle of working on it, or by mistake?? Looking forward to getting the updated packs and trying them out!!

Regards,
