Hi Fernando!

Could you please help me in my problem. I'm planning to buy Z97 MB, switch BIOS to IDE mode and start my old XP SP3 already installed on Drive1 (i know about problems with the integrated peripheral drivers but i already have an external sound card, a pci-e video card and a network adapter which are supported in XP). Why i need IDE mode? I have an IDE LS120 drive, that is connected to the MB via IDE to SATA adapter and IDE CD and DVD drives, which are connected to the MB via the similar IDE to SATA adapters. And all this equipment has problems when working in AHCI mode. But i need AHCI for fast SSD drives. I want to try a strange thing - connect PCI-E SATA adapter in AHCI mode. The questions are:
1. does the XP support at the same time IDE and AHCI mode (or may be any other system)? I mean IDE mode on base system chipset (BIOS setting) and AHCI mode on external PCI-E card (the mode in this card is switched by it own bios)
2. do i need to install Fernando driver despite the fact that the MB chipset in IDE mode?

Thanks for your reply, XPLives!

Motherboard is Asus Z97-A. Actually I don't need physical IDE connection, only IDE compatible mode for old devices. And I planning to use AHCI in external PCI-E SATA card for SSD drives (Marvell chipset).

There is nothing special about the LS-120 that I can now see worth hooking up on a Z97

---

I used it for physical access to floppy sectors (old software). There is only one way to do this on modern systems - LS120 :) Usb floppy does not allow to do it

As for using IDE optical drives via SATA adapters if it's not working properly then it's time to use a real SATA optical drive

---

But I don't know the same quality SATA optical drive as Yamaha F1 for recording audio disks

Yeah that MB has no IDE controller and only pure Intel SATA controllers.

If you're using the SATA IDE Compatible Mode (with IDE to SATA adapter) and your LS-120 works then report back where you got the adapter and Name/Brand.

USB floppy can read the floppy sector by sector using any Hex Editor like HxD.

Only thing USB floppy cannot read are copy protected sectors or non IBM formatted floppies.

I doubt the LS-120 can read copy protected sectors better than a real MFM Floppy Disk Drive and as far as I know it can't read copy protected disks for backing up. Most likely the same issue as USB floppy drives reading copy protected disks.

A Catweasel PCI might be able to read the copy protected content on a modern MB with a PCI slot.

You don't specify what this old software is you're trying to read. Any USB floppy can read 1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks just like the LS-120. As far as I know 1.44MB are usually not copy protected and I have never seen any. There were some 720KB disks that did have copy protection.

Since you're using the IDE to SATA adapters and you should have 6 Intel SATA ports I don't see the reason why you will need a PCIe SATA controller.
There will plenty of ports for you to hook up to your SATA hard drive.

Also if you do manage to get a PCIe SATA controller to work on that MB let us know how you did it. Every PCIe SATA controller I tried seems to not detect in the BIOS so it can't boot off it.

The Yamaha F1 you mentioned are you just burning CD-R music CDs? If that's all you are doing then any SATA Blu-ray optical drive or DVD optical drive will work. Both these drives have CD read/write capability and the Blu-ray model has DVD burning capability as well. So getting a Blu-ray SATA optical drive usually gives you a 3 in 1 optical drive burner/reader. Using a program like Nero should do the job and selecting 1x or 2x write speeds or whatever is the slowest will usually burn the disc just fine. Just don't use the fastest write speed and you can also use CD-RW discs for multiple writes compared to CD-R.

Yes. But ls-120 can do this job :) I can install 'System Commander' manager from floppies with protected sectors with ls-120 and can't do this with USB floppy

Thanks for the advice. But this is a PCI card. There is another problem with PCI audio card. For trouble-free operations of an old PCI audio card, there should be no other PCI cards in other slots

No :) It's a long story about recording audio discs.. Pretty briefly - Yamaha gives the lowest level of recording errors and maximum audio disk storage time (decades)

I upgraded my computer by changing the motherboard from ASUS P5Q to ASROCK Z77 extreme4. The processors from Intel Xeon X5470 were replaced with Intel Xeon E3-1245 v2. I have two SSD removable drives with Windows 10 and Windows XP operating systems. The transfer of Windows 10 went without problems, while in Windows XP I can not install AHCI drivers (the disk is now in IDE mode. During the installation of AHCI drivers, a message appears - an error was sent during the installation of the device, access was denied. With the previous disc (ASUS P5Q) such there were no problems. AHCI drivers come from the ASROCK support page - Win7-64_Win7_Vista64_Vista_XP64_XP (v11.2.0.1006) .zip. Maybe someone has an idea to successfully install the drivers?


Wykonałem modernizację komputera zmieniając płytę główną z ASUS P5Q na ASROCK Z77 extreme4. Wymienione zostały procesory z Intel Xeon X5470 na Intel Xeon E3-1245 v2. Mam dwa dyski wymienne SSD z systemami operacyjnymi Windows 10 i Windows XP. Przeniesienie systemu Windows 10 poszło bez problemów, natomiast w Windows XP nie mogę zainstalować sterowników AHCI (dysk pracuje teraz w trybie IDE. Podczas instalacji sterowników AHCI pojawia się komunikat - wysyąpił błąd podczas instalacji urządzenia, odmowa dostepu. Przy poprzedniej płycie (ASUS P5Q) takich problemów nie było. Sterowniki AHCI pochodzą ze strony wsparcia ASROCK - Win7-64_Win7_Vista64_Vista_XP64_XP(v11.2.0.1006).zip. Może ktoś ma pomysł na skuteczne zainstalowanie sterowników?

I solved this problem by adding two lines to the iaAHCI.inf files:

PCI \ VEN_8086 & DEV_1E02 & CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel (R) 7 Series / C216 Chipset Family 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controler - 1E08"
PCI \ VEN_8086 & DEV_1E02 & CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel (R) 7 Series / C216 Chipset Family 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controler - 1E00"

The drivers could not be installed because Windows did not recognize the chipset and installation she was interrupted.

After making these changes, the drivers were installed without any problem.

I'm sending screenshots:

@fernando....(or anyone who understands the issues) following your instructions re installing XP on a newer mobo (Asus B360M). D/l'd the file: Universal Intel MSM Drivers+Software Set v8.9.8.1005 mod+signed by Fernando and copied files for F6 install to a floppy. I was sure to take the files from the sub-directory marked winall/drivers. Inserted XP install disk w/SP3 slipstreamed into CD drive and booted.

I should state that I have only the XP disk connected to the system, the W7 disk and the W10 disk are both disconnected.

Everything went swimmingly, hit F6 then S when install disk stopped to ask about storage drivers. Selected A352 from list (for Asus B360 mobo) and the installer seemed happy to install the iaStor.sys driver. Hit <enter> to allow install to proceed to point where I could select R for repair rather than doing an install repair. Never got there.

I got a BSOD with an 0x000000A5 stop error and it mumbles about the ACPI being not being fully compliant in the BIOS. This A5 stop error has been happening all along, well before I tried your F6 drivers. Anyway, it suggests hitting F7 at the screen where it enquires about storage drivers and that will disable ACPI temporarily. Lies!!! :-)

OK...I recall in your instructions to turn ACPI on but there is nothing in my AMI Aptio ver 2.20.1271 BIOS that specifically addresses turning ACPI on or off. There is a section where I can turn on/off the different devices that can bring it out of sleep. I made sure they are all on.

I am guessing that XP SP3 is so primitive it does not have an APCI driver that is advanced enough to recognize that the ACPI in BIOS is well advanced over its state.

So, I rebooted without install disk and floppy and let it run. I got a boot screen that lists XP and Win7. Must have been from an older install because my more recent boot screen is for W10 and W7, with no XP listed.

I selected XP and let it run. I immediately get an error about the boot.ini file but it runs past and stops dead with an error:
'load needed DLLs for kernel'. A preliminary Google check suggested running chkdsk, which I did from the W7 install and it reported everything to be kosher.

I may have, at one time, converted the XP disk to be non-bootable. Don't remember but it makes sense not to have it bootable if the system won't run it. Gives me an idea, I will boot into W7, load a partition manager and see if it can tell if the disk is bootable.

I am thinking of testing the MBR etc, externally with DISM but this sounds like there are files in SP3 that don't like the mobo chipset, or something.

Finally, I noticed for the first time in BIOS, under the SATA section, there is an alternative mode than Windows AHCI. It is the Intel RST mode and I tried it. All it does is tell me to insert a bootable disk. If I do, like XP install disk, it runs it but it will not boot from the XP disk. Makes no difference, still get the A5 stop error.

This suggests that maybe the XP disk is not bootable.
