Hi, On the matter of the ICH-9 controller, I have a windows 2000 system I need to migrate to a Intel motherboard that uses the ICH-9M-E/M SATA AHCI controller. I know ICH-9 does not "officially" support 2K, but then again so it is the case for XP, and a solution was obviously found by editing inf/cat files. I'm also aware 2K is a "old" O/S, but the system is really running very well and I'd hate having to change ("upgrade") O/S specially if it is not really needed for purposes other then the compatibility issue with the ICH-9 controller, and I already found all needed device drivers for 2K. BTW the system obviously doesn't have a floppy drive so the F6 option is not available either, but integrating the drivers with nLite would be no problem if I manage to find a compatible 2K SATA AHCI driver. The AMI Bios does not even provide an HD IDE mode option either, so no chance of that workaround. Thanks in advance to any help from the gurus. w2k

Hi Hojax, I am facing the same problem and was wondering if you did find a solution. Thanks. w2k
