Fernando 1, U R a Genius!!! I followed your instructions by the book and - hooray! Bravo! The system insisted on reactivation becouse configuration changed and in this case it was a good sign! Thank you again, good luck and best regards, dear Fernando I ! Serge

Deae Fernando 1, Thank you very much for your reply and advice. I’ve aleady tried to install XP x64 with AHCI drivers fed into process from diskette (having no such drive I’ve formatted USB flesh like one) but although x86 and x64 drivers were recognized in the process they were not installed as the system informed in the blue installation screen. Although I own a genuine XP x64 disk I have no good practice to integrate drivers in a self-made copy with nLite or similar programs so I downloaded some hack image were SATA drivers were in the package as they said but in the installation process in primary installation blue screen Setup said that it could not load ahci86 driver (I have another partition were 32 bit Windows 7 is installed in AHCI mode – maybe it was recognized by Setup). I tried to follow another instruction to install AHCI driver on preinstalled OS x64 with sb700 ahci driver but it didn’t work http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ahci-Suppor...s-Installations Well, now I”ve tried your method (also cleaned with regedit keys created by the above mentioned instruction). I have no WINDOWS\WOW64\ directory but I have SysWOW64 with sub DRIVERS directory were I have put ahci driver but after rebooting in AHCI mode still BSD and reboot…  I have an info about vendor and subdevice that were crucial in the above mention method – maybe something have to be amended in your script also Dear Fernando 1 what could you advise to do now – please help me – you’re almost my only hope… Thank you Serge

Dear Sirs, could you please help with script/regedit actions to manually add AHCI drivers for SB700 for Windows XP Pro x64 - this wise abovementioned installation method works for XP ahci86 and not for ahci64. Thank you very much Serge
