SATA drivers for XP

hvac · Post by **hvac** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 6:01 pm

could someone add SATA drivers for XP so win xp could be installed on a system that came with Vista after formating the drive to remove Vista.

Check out www.driverpacks.net. That is the best method for adding all sata drivers.

Or try nLite utility.
I works nice for me.

Hi

As I said in my previous post, I prefer direct integration only of most necessary drivers of most used controllers, just enough for seamless OS installation.
But my pack supports also ICH9 AHCI mode (for DEV_5029), most of NVIDIA's controllers in one archive and something what DriverPacks don't - drivers for newest ATI/AMD's SB700 (ahcix86 v. 3.1.1540.25).

Do not planning to maintain it as a pack, addon or whatever - but If someone of you guys would find my collection of SATA drivers useful, you can download it on Rapidshare.

SATA drivers pack (no version number or so - just a bunch of files sorted into respective directories)

Oh, I forgot to mention - there are also drivers for NVIDIA SMU (System Management Unint) and ASUS's ATK100 monitoring device. The first one is useful on laptops and newest mobos based on NVIDIA chipsets, the second on is only for laptops and mobos from ASUStek - but won't hurt to have it "ready"

that looks pretty useful. i'll give it a try

To make things clear - this is NOT an addon or "driverpack". It's a SIMPLE COMPILATION of drivers for most used SATA controllers (plus some system files).
You have to unpack it and integrate them with nLite in usual way.

longo213

please would you be so kind and creato f an addon of this or explain to me how did you integrate thise your drivers with nLite... I have try a couple times but no luck

My steps (didnt work for me then)
1.extract your rar file after download.. to SATA drivers pack
2.then run nLite and mark Drivers - Next
3.Insert (then which single or multipe drive folder) and show SATA driver pack folder (or what?)
4.then txtmode driver or regular driver....
......
or please would you be so kind and ask someone to creat addon from yours sata drivers

my opinion is that this pack is very good and it would help a lot of people..

best regards to all

Doesn't Driverpacks.net have a third-party add-on pack similiar to this? I could be wrong, but they have a bunch of good add-on packs for HID, etc.

No, dont work for them

Hi

Simply add one driver after another, going thru every folder - it's not the best way, I agree - but I can live with that

Don't care about the txtmode or regular - take what nLite offers you as first. It depends on the fact, if in the folder is txtsetup.oem file or not.

pen25jf wrote:Doesn't Driverpacks.net have a third-party add-on pack similiar to this? I could be wrong, but they have a bunch of good add-on packs for HID, etc.

Yes, they do - but as I said before, I don't use it and I only integrate SATA drivers I choose.

pen25jf wrote:No, dont work for them

Me neither

Btw, I will update the collection with newest ATI SB and IDE filter drivers.

pen25jf · Post by **pen25jf** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 2:53 pm

Cool thanks, probably a good pack to have

longo213 · Post by **longo213** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 9:04 pm

As I promised, I updated my SATA drivers collection with newest drivers. This is NOT an addon nor DriverPack mini-package, it's just an simple compilation of drivers for most used SATA controllers and few drivers for overlooked system devices.
For integrating into XP source you have to unpack the drivers somewhere and then add one INF file after another into the list using nLite.

- ALi IDE driver v. 1.5.1.0 (used on some ATi Xpress200/ULi combo chipsets)
- ULi M5228 v. 5.0.2.8 (SATA/RAID mode for ALi/ULi based chipsets)
- ULi M5281 v. 5.0.2.9 (SATA/RAID mode for ALi/ULi based chipsets)
- ULi M5287 v. 1.0.5.8 (SATA/RAID mode for ALi/ULi based chipsets)
- ATi IDE v. 1.00.0000.3 (IDE mode on obsolete ATI chipsets like SB3xx)
- ATi IDE ATA 133 v. 5.1.0.8 (IDE/native SATA IDE mode for ATI chipsets from SB450 to SB700)
- Silicon-Image 3112 AHCI v. 1.3.68.2 (native SATA mode of ATI chipsets SB400 a SB450)
- Silicon-Image 3112r RAID v. 1.1.56.1 (native RAID mode of ATI chipsets SB400 a SB450)
- ATi AHCI driver v. 2.506.1540.28 (native RAID a AHCI mode of ATi SB600 southbridge)
- ATi AHCI driver v. 3.1.1540.25 (native RAID a AHCI mode of ATi SB700 southbridge)
- Intel Matrix Storage v. 7.8.0.1012 (RAID & AHCI mode of Intel southbridges, modified to support ICH9 AHCI as mentioned on MSFN board)
- JMicron SATA/RAID v. 1.17.32.06 (RAID a AHCI mode of external controllers used on many new boards)
- NVIDIA AHCI driver v. 10.1.0.20 (AHCI or IDE mode of most NVIDIA SB, modified)
- NVIDIA RAID driver v. 10.1.0.20 (RAID mode of most NVIDIA SB with RAID support, modified)
- SiS IDE driver 5.1.1039.2041
- SiS RAID/AHCI v. 5.1.1039.1090 (for southbridges SiS964/964P, and SiS180/SiS181 controllers)
- SiS RAID/AHCI v. 5.1.1039.2110 (for southbridges SiS965/965L)
- SiS RAID/AHCI v. 5.1.1039.3020 (for southbridges SiS966/968)
- VIA IDE/mini-IDE v. 6.0.6000.182 (IDE mode for VIA chipsets)
- VIA AHCI/SATA IDE v. 6.0.6000.230 (AHCI mode for VIA chipsets VIA)
- VIA RAID v. 5.1.6000.574 (RAID mode for VIA chipsets VIA, modified INF to support one HW ID which VIA removed in this version for unknown reason)

Other useful system drivers
- NVIDIA SMU v. 5.1.2600.0134 (NVIDIA System Management Unit driver, useful on all NV based laptops and new desktop chipsets)
- ASUS ATK100 v. 1043.2.31.100 (drivers for system monitoring used on all laptops and most motherboards from ASUStek)

Changelog:
- modified txtsetup.oem in Intel folder to support ICH9/9R (DEV_2923). More details in this thread on MSFN board.
- updated ATI&AMD IDE/ATA133 driver to version 5.1.0.8. You won't find this in IGP Catalyts for XP - for some reason they are ony in Vista's package. However, XP is not only supported, but this is the perfect driver for owners of SB600 and SB700 based boards.
Previous version was in fact just INF file to configure built-in MS driver, this one has driver on it's own, supporting most of the devices based on SB450 to SB700 in IDE/SATA IDE mode.
- updated JMicron SATA/RAID driver
- updated VIA SATA/RAID driver

Download the SATA Drivers Collection 03/08

If you want to use the pack for whatever reason, go for it. If you want to create an addon or DriverPack, you're welcome. If you want to test it for me and report some issues back, I would be glad to help and make some minor changes to make it better.
Otherwise, NO WARRANTY!

THX longo213 keep up the good work. And you are right direct integration is better because if i use driverpack then i can not start the Recovery Console from the Winodws XP CD.

longo213 · Post by **longo213** » Wed May 07, 2008 5:22 am

Many thanks

I'll update the drivers collection over the weekend

I was thinking to reedit all oemsetup files to make the integration easier.

hi longo213

i'd be really greatful if you can upload your sata drivers anywhere other than rapidshare or megaupload. The latters really break my heart.

here's one free and convenient hosting:

Hi all
While waiting for longo231's post to update the SATA drivers collection,
I have a question for the experts here.

Does the final Windows XP SP3 Service Pack (RTM 5512) after integrating (slipstreaming) with install CD, contain the latest SATA drivers, so that "F6" is not required for installing XP into SATA/RAID interface/hard-disks?

regards

I'm not an expert but the answer to your question is "NO"

Nope.

And yes, I finally found some spare time

Don't hold your breath, but....

Anyway - bobotlito, Mediafire seems like very good service, I'll use it instead of RS. Thanks!

Just an FYI in addition to the answer to your question that others have given, AFAIK Service Packs don't include any drivers.

[quote="roirraW "edor""]AFAIK Service Packs don't include any drivers.[/quote]
That's not quite true. The file SP?.cab is full of them. I'd imagine they're a mix of newer files than those included in driver.cab and files that weren't originally included.

The very idea of a servicepack release, other than fixing serious issues, is (or must be) to add driver capabilities to enable the os to work with devices marketted prior to the release of the oS/servicepack.
It is a pity M$ is so lazy, so as not to stick to this basic premise. Or they dont want XP+SP3 to become popular vizaviz Vista!!!

Can i use driver pack from www.driverpacks.net with RVM_Integrator_1.5.3 or do i need DPs_BASE to integrate them reply thanks in advance

Post by **5eraph** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 3:02 am

You need BASE.

A friendly reminder: DriverPacks are always done last, just before creating your ISO.

A possible explanation is that your drive is set to IDE mode (instead of AHCI or RAID) in the BIOS of your PC.

Thanks for the SATA drivers. I did the same thing, but for wifi drivers.

I can upload the collection if anyone is interested. I haven't had a chance to test all the drivers since I don't own every wifi cards.

Actually with nLite you don't have to add INF files individually, there is an option to select an entire folder.
