Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #315

It would have been better, if you had "uninstalled" the device and rebooted thereafter. Since the driver will not be deleted, the hardware detection will find it during the reboot.

Not yet, but I think that you have, and perhaps there’s hope for me yet…

You confirmed in post #221 what I suspected, that technically the “Intel 9-series SMBus INF file is neither a driver nor needed at all.” The only “problem” is that it is represented in Device Manager as a problem! From post #313 I found that by leaving the PCI Device uninstalled / red-crossed under System Devices, hardware detection will no longer “nag” for its driver every time I start up the computer. This is a success, albeit an imperfect one.

To nullify the problem device listing altogether would indeed be icing on the cake, so to speak… and I admit I do like icing.

I will wipe my XP install for now and try my alternate W2k Pro installation, which uses the stock Intel Chipset Installation Utility from August 2013 (the last such “official” version offered for either W2k Pro or XP). I am eager to see if your Chipset_SMBus.inf file interacts any differently with it. I will let you know.

That is excellent, thank you so much. I can’t wait to test it! but it looks like I will have to…

Sadly, I’m now getting hardware-related bluescreen errors which have cut short my testing for now (appears to be a motherboard problem).

One piece of good news, having previously used a different AHCI driver, I was at least able to test and can confirm here that your “Modded” Intel MSM Driver v8.9.8.1005 works with Windows 2000 Professional on the Series 9 in AHCI mode.

I post this because I didn’t want to suddenly disappear on you, Fernando, and once I have the hardware up and running again I will resume testing and update here. Thanks again.

I have tried your 11.2 AHCI driver many times, in every way I can think of, but I have never been able to make it work with Windows 2000 Professional (though it works perfectly with Windows XP). I last posted about that here:

Modded Intel AHCI and RAID Drivers (15)

Ahoj Fernando,

Thank you for your incredible article on "Integration of Intels AHCI/RAID". It is the ABSOLUTE best on the web.
I have a D510MO motherboard with a Silicon Image Sil 0680 Ultra-133 ATA (however, that doesn't matter).
The D510MO cannot run AHCI. It will not. The bios must be set to IDE. Referring to your instructions, I disconnected all drives except the one that I would install XP on and made a USB flash disk with the XP iso setup cd installed. I used the slipstreamed iso I created per your instructions using nLite.

I used the Novicorp's software WinToFlash to create the XP setup USB flashdisk to install XP. I chose option one when at the command line menu.

I love your article so much, I created a PDF of it. Also, I have created an odt doc as well so that if you wish you can edit it.
I will try to attach them both.

Thanks again for your WONDERFUL article.

Sorry. I got mine to work. I've attached that document and yours that I modified. Unfortunatel, I lost the odt file. With the D510MO, XP install must be done with XP on a flash disk. Install from the CD or DVD drive always results in the BSOD.

Hi :)

I am trying to install Windows XP 32 bit to my acer Travelmate P246-m

a.) hard drive has 3 partitions: System partition for 8.1, 8.1 partition, and partition where xp is to be installed
b.) slipstreamed Intel 8 9C03 driver to my install source
c.) XP setup (initial screen with loading drivers and picking partitions) successful, copies install files to drive
d.) machine restarts, this time, installing windows and finalizing installlation
e.) machine restarts again, this time getting 0x7b 0xbaccf524 error.

Please help me. Ive been trying this for 3days. Thanks :D
