Which all PLoP files need to be put inside PLoP folder for using the latest version? Only plpbt.bin? There is a confusing array of files within PLoP downloads!

Enable Intel AHCI under already installed XP : Hi cdob & jaclaz, thanks for your insight & help. This was the missing piece of information, I was looking for, & just learned from 'cdob'. Now I could get the perspective of the earlier quoted post. So my motheboard being DG33FB, donot support mixed mode AHCI/IDE-emul, So the method in the quoted post do not work me. As I understand the summary of the above approach which could work for my MB, pointed out by jaclaz (in pcper.com forum) is: My specific questions to the experts here: Can u confirm the correctness of above steps summary? If I do this, is there a chance that I will loose access to my standard IDE channels & hence to PATA DVD-ROM? In the Direct "Driver Injection" method, which of the above 1- 7 steps are substituted? (All or some are still reqd?) PS: My mother board is DG33FB [ Intel G33 Express chipset with ICH9DH I/O controller] ICH9DH is equivalent to ICH9R minus raid.

The same named post is already in Sticky (#2), but closed for further posts. But I have a related question. The importance of this topic (enabling AHCI under already installed XP) is somewhat minimal nowadays, after the arrival of new techniques (NLite/DriverPacks etc) to integrate new AHCI drivers directly into XP install-CD. But my requirement is to change over my already installed system (WindowsXP-SP3 in DG33FB mother board with BIOS= Non-AHCI option) to AHCI mode. Now I know that in Sticky Topic #2 (Post #251) by MDGx says: "starting with Intel Driver version 9.6.0.1014, everything is simple, & extra cumbersome steps detailed in initial posts by puntoMX are no more needed!!" Sticky Topic #2 Post #251 by MDGx Now I cannot understand the very first Step itself here (infact Steps 1 to 3 above), since if you do that you will get a BSOD. i.e when you simply change the BIOS option to AHCI, & reboot a Windows-XP system, (as indicated in steps 1-3 above) it will result in BSOD. This is not NEWS, & this exactly is the problem the above (sticky) thread started to solve initially by PuntoMX, & then finally this Final Post & closing of the sticky thread . Can somebody show me some light here ...

Did not see any further activity here. Correct me if I am wrong? I assume n7eplisons ver 1.1 dtd march 19, 2008, solves all issues reported here. http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=56212#56212
