#1 | [Guide] Integration of Intels AHCI/RAID drivers into a Windows XP/W2k3/W2k CD Sun May 05, 2013 9:51 pm (Last edited: Fri Nov 06, 2015 11:28 pm) Many users with such system have problems, when they try to install Windows XP (32/64 bit) or Windows Server 2003 (32/64 bit), because the Setup of these Operating Systems will not automaticly detect the hdd's, which are connected to the Intel S-ATA AHCI or Intel SATA RAID ports of the mainboard. Furthermore the traditional F6/floppy method often fails due to bad floppy media or the lack of a floppy drive. The easiest and safest solution is the integration of the Intel Controller drivers into a bootable 32/64bit XP or W2k3 CD by using a tool like nLite. Here is the way how to do it: Integration of Intel's AHCI/RAID Drivers by using nLite Guide for Windows XP and Server 2003 (32/64bit) (usable with Windows 2000 as well) Last updated: 11/06/2015 new: Links to the freshly customized and digitally signed "Universal 32/64bit Intel RST AHCI+RAID Drivers v11.2.0.1006 mod+signed by Fernando" new: Link to the freshly customized and digitally signed "Universal 32/64bit Intel RST Drivers+Software Set v11.2.0.1006 mod+signed by Fernando" new: Links to the freshly digitally signed "Universal 32/64bit Intel MSM AHCI+RAID Drivers v8.9.8.1005 mod+signed by Fernando" new: Link to the freshly digitally signed "Universal 32/64bit Intel MSM Drivers+Software Set v8.9.8.1005 mod+signed by Fernando" Informations regarding the possibility and necessity of loading/integrating the Intel Controller drivers: None of the Windows Operating Systems which were released before Windows 2000 (Windows 3.11, Windows 95/98 and Windows ME) do support the actual Intel SATA and RAID Controllers (no working textmode drivers available). Even Windows 2000 does not fully support actual Intel chipset systems and their onboard Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controllers. Nevertheless it may be possible to get W2k installed onto an up-to-date PC. For details I recommend to read >this< useful post written by Joe1962. The latest versions of Windows XP (32/64bit) and Windows Server 2003 (32/64bit) are able to detect actual Intel S-ATA Controllers during the OS installation and will handle them as "normal" IDE Controllers, if the BIOS S-ATA settings are set to "IDE mode". In this case you don't need to load/integrate any Intel textmode drivers, but you have to abandon the features AHCI and RAID. Users who are going to install XP or W2k3 and want to get benefit of the Intel S-ATA Controller features AHCI or RAID, have to enable them within BIOS prior to the OS installation and additionally have to integrate the appropriate Intel textmode driver into the OS CD or to load it via F6/floppy during the installation. Otherwise Windows Setup will not detect the Intel S-ATA Controller connected hard disk drives. According to Intel not all Intel S-ATA Controllers for Desktop and Mobile PC's with a Southbridge from ICH7 up do fully support AHCI. This deficiency corcerns especially Intel ICH8/ICH9/ICH10 Southbridges without any letter behind the "ICH". Nevertheless it is possible to get the AHCI features even with these "castrated" ICH8/8/10 Southbridge PC's (look >here< and >here<). If you are not sure, look into your mainboard/laptop manual or ask the support of the mainboard/laptop manufacturer. Preconditions for a successful integration of the Intel S-ATA AHCI/RAID drivers: The S-ATA hdd's have to be connected to one of the Intel S-ATA ports of the mainboard. Note: Many Intel chipset mainboards have additionally to the Intel SATA ports other SATA ports, which are managed by another on-board SATA Controller (from JMicron, ASMedia or Marvell). Before you continue with your preparations, you should check, if the S-ATA cable of the HDD/SSD, where you want to get the OS and the boot sector installed, is really connected to one of the Intel ports. If it should be connected to any of the non-Intel SATA ports, you have to integrate/load the related special JMicron/ASMedia/Marvell textmode driver instead of the Intel one. Otherwise Windows Setup will not detect your S-ATA connected HDD, SSD or RAID array at all. The mainboard BIOS should be up-to-date. Very important for a successful XP installation is the knowledge about the Intel S-ATA mode of the actual/future system (can only be changed from within the BIOS) These are the S-ATA mode options: IDE Mode = no Intel textmode drivers necessary, but no AHCI/RAID available AHCI Mode = Intel SATA AHCI textmode driver necessary, no RAID available RAID Mode = Intel SATA RAID textmode driver necessary, RAID array must be created the exact specification (DeviceID, shown as DEV_XXXX)) of the on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller resp. Intel SATA RAID Controller. Tip for users, who want to "downgrade" their Windows OS or to install XP additionally to their current Windows OS: The DeviceID of the actually running Intel SATA Controller can easily been detected from within the Device Manager of any running Windows OS: a) AHCI system (Intel SATA Controller is running in AHCI mode): Open the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section of the Device Manager b) RAID system (Intel SATA Controller is running in "RAID" mode): Open the "Storage Controllers" (old name: "SCSI and RAID Controllers") section of the Device Manager Then right click onto the listed Controller with the word "AHCI" resp. "RAID" within its name and choose the following options: "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs". Now you can verify the vendor of the listed SATA Controller (VEN_8086 = Intel) and the specific DeviceID of it (shown as "DEV_XXXX"). The knowledge of both of them will help you during the later nLite textmode driver integrating process to highlight the correct Intel SATA Controller. All "modded" 32/64bit packages contain the untouched (=original) Intel textmode drivers. Only the associated INF and OEM files have been modified to make them compatible with the originally not supported ICH8-ICH10 chipsets. Due to the modification these drivers have lost their WHQL certification. You may use them at own risk. Please give me your feedback, if your Intel ICH8R/ICH8M/ICH8/ICH9R/ICH9/ICH10 Controller should not be supported by these modified drivers. If you are going to integrate these modified drivers, you will get a slightly different popup window than shown below, because I have added the AHCI Controllers for originally not supported ICH8/9/10 chipsets. Nevertheless you will find the suitable Controller easily, if you search for the suffix "added by Fernando". Unzip and store the driver folder of your choice somewhere (caution: don't use any personal Windows folder like the Desktop for storage purposes!). Depending on the OS you are going to install, you will just need the 32bit or 64bit driver version. Attention: Look into your mainboard manual, if your S-ATA hdd(s) are connected to any of the above mentioned Intel ESB2/ICH7/ICH8/ICH9/ICH10/5-Series/6-Series SATA ports. If your mainboard has an other (legacy type) Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controller, you should integrate the Intel AHCI/RAID driver you will find within your mainboard driver CD. 2. Processing with nLite This is what you should do: Copy the content of the clean source CD (XP, XP x64, W2k3 or W2k3 x64) onto your HDD/SSD. Run nLite and point to the directory where you have copied the OS source. If your XP CD source CD doesn't yet include the Service Pack 3, you should integrate it as first step. This seems to be absolutely necessary for all new Intel chipset systems from 6-Series up (look >here<). You can use all nLite options, but you have to use the tasks "Integrate Drivers" and "Create Bootable CD". When you come up to the task "Drivers", hit the "Insert" button, use the "Single driver" option and point to the content of the driver package you have downloaded and extracted at first step. Click onto one of the shown INF files (it doesn't matter which one). If you have integrated the appropriate drivers (hopefully supporting your special Intel SATA Controller too) you will get the following or rather similar "Storage Device Textmode Driver" popup window with a big variety of different Intel Controllers: At this point you have to decide, which Intel Controller(s) you want to get installed by clicking onto the suitable Controller(s). Important: a ) Make sure, that the "Textmode driver" Mode is enabled. b ) You can and maybe have to highlight more than 1 Controller. Have a look into your mainboard manual to find the exact name of your S-ATA Controller and search for it within the list. Click onto the Intel SATA Controller(s), which is/are suitable for your mainboard BIOS settings regarding the Intel S-ATA ports (SATA RAID or SATA AHCI), your mainboard chipset (ICH7, ICH8, ICH9 or ICH10) and your system ("Desktop"=PC, "Mobile"=Laptop, Server or Workstation). Tip: If you are not sure, which of the listed Controllers are the suitable one(s) for your chipset, you can enable all of them (Windows Setup will find and install the correct driver). This tip is only valid for users, who had prepared an Intel textmode driver, which belongs to the "Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager" series! Use the other options of nLite, if you want. It is a good idea to additionally integrate the Intel INF Update Utilty named Intel® Chipset Device Software as normal device (=PnP) driver. You can download the actual INF "drivers" package from >here<. Tip: Since Intel's EXE package usually is voluminous and not easy to be extracted, I have prepared and uploaded a small driverpack for you, which contains just the actual official driver files you will need for the integration of the Intel chipset device "drivers" (Notice: they are not real drivers, but just information files). You can download a small package containing just the latest official Intel INF "drivers" v9.4.0.1027 prepared for the integration from >here< (>MIRROR<). Unzip it and integrate the "drivers" by pointing onto any of the various INF files you will find within the folder. It doesn't matter which one you choose - nLite will copy them all anyway. Let nLite create the ISO file. As last step the ISO file should be burned as bootable CD. You can either let nLite do this job or take a burning tool like Nero or CDBurnerXP. Tips: If you are using Nero, you should just choose "Recorder" (menu bar) > "Burn Image" and then point to the just created ISO file. Burn at not more than 8x(DVD) or 24x(CD) and choose the "Verify" option to avoid any burning errors! Since there are no Intel AHCI drivers available, which natively do support old Windows Operating Systems and the latest Intel chipsets simultaneously, you have to integrate a modded Intel textmode driver. As already stated above, the 32bit resp. 64bit "Universal Intel RST textmode driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando" should have been integrated into the XP CD. Even if you integrate the correct Intel textmode driver and highlight the correct Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controller during the integration, you may get troubles to get W2k, XP or W2k3 installed. The majority of these problems are caused by wrong "BOOT" settings within the BIOS, by a not suitable bootable device containing the OS image and by a missing conformance of the ACPI settings between the old OS Setup and new PC hardware. Here are some tips how to minimize the risk of a W2k/XP/W2k3 installation failure: a) BIOS settings: CSM and all LEGACY boot options should be ENABLED. b) OS boot media device: According to my own experience the best option is to use an optical drive (CD/DVD ROM) running in "IDE" mode (requires the presence and usability of a non-Intel onboard SATA Controller). c) ACPI settings: Hit F5 (resp. F7 for some boards) when prompted by the OS Setup to hit F6 at the beginning of the OS installation. For details please look into >this< post written by Joe1962 and >this< one written by F458-RRT. d) HDD/SSD configuration: Dont try to get XP installed onto a HDD/SSD, which already contains an OS, which is running in UEFI mode, or has been prepared by using the modern GUID Partition Table (GPT). Windows XP needs the LEGACY mode MBR as boot sector. 4. How to get access to the Intel(R) RST resp. MSM Console Once your OS is up, you will have full access to all partitions and files of your Intel RAID array or SATA HDD's/SSD's running in AHCI Mode, but you will not be able to run the Intel RST/MSM Control Center, because the program files are still missing. Solution: Users with an Intel RAID system should download and install the complete Intel RST resp. MSM package (depending on the driver they had integrated), which contains the RST/MSM drivers and the Console application. For users, who are running their SATA HDD's/SSD's in AHCI Mode, the Console is less important, but they can install it as well (disadvantage: prolonged boot time). Attention: You should take care, that the complete package belongs to the same series (RST/RSTe resp. MSM) and has the same version as the driver, which has been integrated into the XP CD (only exception: X79 chipset users, who had installed Windows XP 32bit, they are not able to install any RSTe Drivers & Software Set):[ul] If you had integrated the original or "universally modified" 32/64bit RST driver v11.2.0.1006, you will be able to get the suitable complete and already extracted complete "Universally usable" RST Drivers & Software Set v11.2.0.1006 from >here< (>MIRROR<). Users, who had installed the modded 32/64bit MSM driver v8.9.8.1005, can download the appropriate version of the complete "Universally usable" MSM Drivers & Software package from >here< (>MIRROR<). XP x64 users with an Intel X79 chipset, who want to get the RSTe Console Software installed (and the RSTe drivers once XP x64 is up) , should download the - already extracted - actual complete RSTe package v3.7.0.1092 WHQL from >here< (>MIRROR<). After having run the installer and a reboot you will have full access to the "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology" resp. "Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager" Console from within the running Windows OS. This is a good alternative indeed for someone, who wants to create an "All-In-One" XP CD, which may be usable with a big variety of different AHCI and RAID systems, but nLite is the better choice a) for users, who just want to prepare an XP CD, which will let them install Windows XP onto their special AHCI or RAID system and b) for users, who want to install Windows XP x64 (there are no 64bit DriverPacks available). @ all visitors of this thread: Today (08/01/2013 I have updated again the start post of this thread. Changelog: updated: Intel Chipset Device Software (= "INF Update Utility"), new package version: 9.4.0.1022 WHQL dated 07/16/2013 Good luck with the integration of the drivers! Fernando Dear Fernando This tut is very helpful for newbie like me. I want to integrate all AHCI/RAID drivers into a Windows XP 32bits CD. It can be use to setup windows xp for allmost laptop. So I must be integrate all files for 32bits which you upload. That's right ?? Or can you make a file which compatible with allmost laptop. Thanks Fernando. God bless u. No, this would not work at all, because many of the different Intel textmode driver versions, which I am offering within the start post, are using files with the same name, but with different content. At least many of the files will be overwritten by similar named files of another driver version with the result, that nothing will work. Consequence: You should not into integrate more than 1 single textmode driver of the same manufacturer, if you want to create a bootable XP CD with integrated Intel AHCI or RAID driver. Zitat Or can you make a file which compatible with allmost laptop. As you may have seen, I am offering a "32bit Universal Intel RST textmode driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando", which will support nearly all Intel AHCI and RAID systems with an Intel chipset from ICH7R/M up, but the use of this driver will not work, if you check all listed Intel AHCI and RAID Controllers while doing the integration of the driver. Summary: Neither the integration of different Intel textmode drivers into 1 XP CD nor checking all listed Intel SATA Controllers while processing with nLite will be successful. If you want to create an "Universal" XP CD, which may be usable with different AHCI or RAID Controllers from different manufacturers, you should better use the "DriverPacks" method (>LINK<) using the tool "DP Base" and integrating the actual "DriverPack Mass Storage" package, which you can get >here<.
