@CrisMod
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Since I have written a specific and detailed guide about how to get an Intel AHCI driver properly integrated into a Windows XP Image, I have moved your request into the related thread. Please read the content of the start post and follow its advices.
Notes to your post:
1. The tool named nLite can only be used with very old Windows Operating Systems (XP/W2k3), but not with modern Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up.
2. Your attached driverpack contains only Intel "Chipset Device INF Files", but no Intel AHCI driver.

Thank you for having tested the freshly modded Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006.
It is a pity, that the XP Setup didn't accept it, although the driver's INF file named iaAHCI.inf definitively contains the matching HardwareIDs. This indicates, that the driver itself (the file named iaStor.sys) doesn't support the Intel SATA AHCI Controller of Z690 chipset systems. By the way - Intel has never released an AHCI driver, which supports the DeviceID DEV_7AE2 (not even for Win10/11). Since such Intel AHCI driver doesn't exist, Win7/8/10/11 users with an Intel Z690 chipset have to use the generic in-box MS AHCI drive instead.
My conclusion:
To be able to get XP installed onto an Intel Z690 chipset in AHCI mode, the user has to integrate/load an AHCI driver, whose hex code has been modified. Since I generally don't touch any *.SYS file, I cannot help.

Hello @Fernando,

I don't know why these past days the forum it doesn't allowed me to reply and gave me always the error....anyway.

Thank you to reply me and sorry if I posted my new topic as new thread, and thanks again to move it in the right place.

Your guides are fantastic, and usually I can find so easily from your posts the right drivers, but this time I don't know why I saw many of your posts drivers with the right chipset but always written in parentheses "except for X79", so seems all the drivers are correct but except for the X79 motherboard.

Now, before I saw your reply here, I decided to keep with testing in meantime that some one can help me with my case; and i decided to watch more detailed in your driver topics, and voilà, I found your correct drivers (signed by you) that allows me to install under AHCI Mode Windows Xp. Now everything are working perfectly!!!!!

I took the drivers from here: win-raid.com/t11f23-Modded-Intel-AHCI-and-RAID-Drivers-digitally-signed.html

The first on the list: Intel AHCI/RAID drivers from the "classical" Intel RST Series - the Universal 32bit Intel

Anyway, I thought that into the folder that I attached was all the necessaries files drivers to install the controller AHCI... thank you, now I can understand why cannot be recornized the controller during the installation process.

Glad to have a conversation with you and infinitely thanks for your support
