Well, I received mail from Intel... Hello, Thank you for contacting Intel® Technical Support. Currently the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager drivers are only provided as a .zip file. The .exe file that was used before to automatically create the floppy is no longer available. In order to create the floppy used to pre-install the RAID drivers (F6 during Windows* XP setup), all you need to do, is to extract the files provided in the .zip file to a formatted floppy disk. We understand that this may not be the procedure you are looking for. For this reason, we appreciate the time you took to communicate your concern about this situation to us, and your feedback will be taken into consideration for future updates. If you feel the issue has been solved, we would really appreciate if you would let us know. Would you mind answering a couple of questions to help us improve our web content? (By answering these questions in a reply to this e-mail message we can correlate your suggestions to specific web content related to yourIssue.) a-Did you receive a previous response to your e-mail message containing suggested web solutions to help you resolve your problem? b-If yes, could you tell us why the suggested solutions did not enable you to resolve your problem, and how you think we could make them more effective? c-If you did not receive a previous e-mail with web links and suggested solutions, would you like to provide any other feedback on how our web site could more effectively aid you in finding answers to your questions? Sincerely, Ronald M.Intel® Technical Support Hmm.... the problem actually is the 'different' content of iaAHCI.inf (new Intel Matrix Storage drivers) vs. IAAHCI.inf (the floppy disk exe file). Will reply to the dude again...
