What I need is the DeviceID of your in-use Intel SATA Controller.

You obviously are confusing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology with the Intel Smart Response Technology. The original/modded Intel RST drivers just support Intel SATA AHCI and RAID Controllers, but have nothing to do with an extra data caching feature.

Here is the list (DEV_3A22, I guess):
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3A22&CC_0106

So, just to be clear, I was able to install your modded drivers and the system was stable - no issues there. Without the modded drivers I am limited to RST version 9.6.0.1014, any higher un-modded version fails to install.

---

This is hard to believe, because all original Intel RST drivers up to v11.7.4.1001 WHQL should fully support your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller.

Version 13.6 is all over the place with my Z77 chipset. HD Tune Pro show extreme drops in read speed and other general performances. 13.5 works fine, however.
By any chance you're working on 14.1 drivers now? Thanks in advance.

Although the newest Intel RST(e) drivers v13.6.2.1001 have been designed by Intel just for Intel 8- or 9-Series Chipset systems, I decided to customize them to make them usable with as many Intel chipsets as possible.

Update of the Start Post:
Changelog:

• new: "32/64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI & RAID drivers v13.6.2.1001 mod by Fernando" (with support of all Intel AHCI/RAID systems from ICH7R/M up)
• new: "Universal 32/64bit Intel RST Software v13.6.2.1001" (extracted untouched original RST Software)

1. Users, who want to manually install any modified driver from within the Device Manager, have to use the "Have Disk" button! Otherwise they will get the message, that the latest/best driver has already been installed.
2. Win8/Win8.1 users have to disable the driver integrity check before trying to install any driver, which is not digitally signed or modified. The procedure how to do it is layed down >here<.

Esteemed Fernando (Dieter) --

I'm having troubles, because the whole reason I want to enable AHCI on my current XP SP3 system is to let me make a dual-boot system with Win 7 on a newly added SSD *without* reinstalling windows XP afresh. This is my main computer, with 4 HDDS, on which I do many different tasks, with files created and software installed over many years. I want to migrate from XP to 7 gradually (maybe over a month's time.) I have successfully enabled AHCI and done such a migration on a different computer built on an Asus P5K-E (Intel ICH9R) following approximately the method shown in

http://www.blah-blah.ch/it/how-to-s/enable-ahci/ and
http://superuser.com/questions/427340/ho...ut-reinstalling

I'd hoped to do the same with the Gigabyte EP45-UD3L (Intel ICH10 -- not 10R!) But am having big trouble doing the driver updates through device manager, as shown in those pages, which worked fine on the ICH9R MB. In IDE mode, the controllers show different hardware IDs than included in your universal .inf. So the update process involves guessing which of your DEV_3A03 or DEV_3A23 to associate with the 2-port 3A26 and which with the 3A20. That may not be the whole problem, though -- I just don't know.

Right now, the boot drive is inaccessible (famous STOP 7B) as I've managed to put a wrong driver in. This persists no matter what mode the BIOS SATA is in. (There are both AHCI enable/disable and Native SATA Mode enable/disable switches in the BIOS setup.)

Next I plan to try use the StoreageCraft Recovery Environment to insert working drivers. (I did a complete image of the system drive before mucking with the drivers.) I could go back to IDE drivers, I suppose, but would really like to just put the correct AHCI driver (device type) in while the BIOS is in AHCI mode + native SATA mode.

Is there a more-standard way to enable AHCI without doing a fresh install of XP? I suppose that means replacing the IDE drivers with AHCI drivers without making the system drive inaccessible at the next startup. I'm not very afraid of changing the registry, as I have done some of that with success in the past.

Is there any way to change drivers in a "repair" installation of XP? I have an XPSP3 CD.

Again, thanks for the help you give to so many!

The standard way is to load or integrate the AHCI driver from scratch and not to switch the SATA mode from within an already running OS, which may end with an unbootable system.

The "Repair" option only will help, when the boot sector is corrupt, but will not work, when you have installed a wrong mass storage driver for your system drive.

Hi,

I am a little confused. I have an EVGA X58 system with raid device 8086-2822 and have 12.9 original rst software install. Is there an advantage I'm not seeing using modded drivers? Or is my X58 hardware id on the support list still?

Thanks

Hi Fernando,

Excuse lame question but just came off work & tired not been around in a while, im running Asus Rampage III Extreme ZioMod Bios 1601_S02 looking to upgrade to latest S17 before fresh load whats the latest for Intel RST software as DL page seems to have changed am i DL'ing from •B. Intel RST(e) Drivers from v11.5 up and their RST(e) Software: and the latest Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers & Software Set v14.0.0.1095? thanks in advance (Don't even ask my cell number im too tired to remember,lol)

Fernando,
last time i was on here i was inquiring about amd raid drivers. Now, I am using a intel z97 mb with a core i5 4460. Anyhow, I was wondering if you mod beta drivers like 14.0.0.1095 rst drivers or do you only stick with doing whql's?

Hi Fernando,

i had download driver Universal 32bit Intel RST AHCI & RAID driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando.
i using method connect USB floppy drive as below:
-insert windows xp pro SP3 into CD-ROM
-Set SATA mode as AHCI at bios, save
-Restart PC, press any key to boot into CD-ROM
-Press F6 for additional SCSI or RAID driver install
-boot to screen for driver selection
-Press "S" to specify driver

after press "S", by normal should come out a list of driver to choose, but in this case there are no list even box to choose driver.
it just hang there and can't doing anything except restart PC.
i had retry for many time but the result still same.
could u pls advice on this.
thanks,

Remark: my motherboard is X10SAE, compatible driver should be intel(r) 8 series/c220 series sata ahci controller i guess.

Regards,
Sin

To be sure, you should check the DeviceID of your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller.


@ all users of my modded drivers:
As you probably know, there is just 1 single disadvantage, if you are going to replace an original driver by a modded one: The installation of a modded driver usually has to be forced by hitting the "Have Disk" button and navigating to the suitable INF file. Furthermore the procedure to disable the in-box "Driver Signature Enforcement" of the latest Windows Operating Systems is quite uncomfortable. That is why I thought already some years ago about the possibility to give my modded drivers a digital signature.
It was at least the >this< excellent guide written and posted by mrces2, which gave me the needed kick to start doing it. Today I am able to present the first modded drivers, which have gotten a digital signature and can be installed smoothly even while rnning Win8.1 or Win10. As soon as I have the needed time, I will add the digital signature to the other drivers, which I have already modified or will modify in the future.

@Fernando

Thanks for publishing the signed modded drivers (also thanks for @mrces2 for posting the elaborate guide). Today I've encountered a weird AHCI device from an old Dell OptiPlex 755 which isn't present in the official & modded driver sets:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&SUBSYS_02111028&REV_02
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&SUBSYS_02111028
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&CC_010601
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&CC_0106
 
 

https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/2922

Can it be possible to add this one??
