SubVendor: pci 0x104d "Sony Corporation"
SubDevice: pci 0x9084
Revision: 0x04

What driver do I need ?

I suspect, that you will need an Intel RAID driver for a very old Intel Southbridge (ICH6, ESB or ICH7), but without knowing the exact HardwareID of the on-board Intel SATA Controller.it is not easy to answer.
At first step I recommend to try the "Universal 32bit Intel RST AHCI+RAID driver v11.2.0.1006 mod+signed by Fernando", which you can find and within the start post of >this< thread.
If this driver should not work for your system, you may try the old 32bit Intel MSM driver v7.0.0.1020 WHQL, which I have attached for you.
Good luck!
Dieter (alias Fernando)

@desperados:
Thanks for your feedback. It is fine, that you were able to solve your problem.
By the way:
Which Intel RST/MSM driver worked? Or were you able to get the OS installed without loading any driver?

This verifies, that your previous tries to get Win7 installed failed, because the Setup couldn't find an appropriate driver to read from the USB Flash drive, which was connected to an USB 3.0 port.
