Finally some change in situation: The drivers get recognized by windows when I right-click on a controller in device-Manager and choose "update driver". However, no matter which controller I choose, the system crashes with BSOD after reboot and changing to AHCI. Back in IDE-mode the system still crashes until I choose "use last known workig configuration". So it seems windows is using the driver but without success (in both modes). Could it be this is a Win2k3-driver and not one for XP?

This was the last .reg-file I did try: AHCI-manual-injection-sb8xx.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\pci#ven_1002&dev_4394&subsys_14621096] "Service"="ahcix86" "ClassGUID"="{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ahcix86] "Type"=dword:00000001 "Start"=dword:00000000 "Group"="SCSI miniport" "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "ImagePath"="system32\\drivers\\ahcix86.sys" "tag"=dword:00000019 "DisplayName"="ATI AHCI Compatible RAID Controller" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ahcix86\Parameters\PnpInterface] "5"=dword:1 "2"=dword:1 "1"=dword:1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ahcix86\Parameters\Device] "NumberOfRequests"=dword:80 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ahcix86\Settings\CAM] "EnableALPEDisableHotplug"=dword:ffffffff "EnableCCC"=dword:0 "CCCTimeoutValue"=dword:10 "CCCCompletionValue"=dword:32 "NCQEnableDiskIDBits"=dword:00000000 "EnableHIPM"=dword:ffffffff "EnableDIPM"=dword:00000000 "EnableHDDParking"=dword:1 "CAMTimeOutValue"=dword:5 "EnableAN"=dword:1 "EnableAPS"=dword:0 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ahcix86\Enum] "0"="PCI\\VEN_1002&DEV_4394&SUBSYS_14621096\\3&13c0b0c5&0&FA" "Count"=dword:00000001 "NextInstance"=dword:00000001

Wow. These links are...informative. I don't understand your question. What are compatibleID and CC_0106? Do you mean subsystem? According to the linux-output my subsystem is 1462:1096. The exact output of "lspci -vvnn" is reading this:

My idea is to just install all driver-components manually, reboot, switch to AHCI in BIOS and let windows boot up. This seems to work for others, as I red in several forums, e.g. here. No matter if nLite-method or not, I need to customize some inf/oem/reg- files to work together with the right driver. So a good question is: What driver-versions are out there? Which southbridge-version should they support? The versions I tested, I listed in post #4.

I don't know if I tried fernandos drivers for a nLite-install anyway, since they are modified. I only tried them for manual installation. However, the last lines of his .oem-file read: id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_B0041458", "ahcix86" id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_B0051458", "ahcix86" id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_D6028086", "ahcix86" id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4381&SUBSYS_43811002", "ahcix86" id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4391", "ahcix86" id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4392", "ahcix86" id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4393", "ahcix86" [Config.ahcix86] value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 1 ...meaning: The driver seems to work for cards until id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4393", "ahcix86" my ahci-controller has the number 4394. So even fernandos-version for nlite propably needs to get modified to set the correct reg-entries. The question remains if the driver does support my hardware at all. So when having the choice between modified and unmodified driver, I actually prefere the unmodified version. I still have an sb7xx-driver in version 3.1.1540.127. It doesn't come with an .oem-file. Do you think I should create one? In contrast, the newest drivers (for sb8xx) from radeon-page do have an oem-file and my hardware isn't listed as well. The win7-drivers included with my notebook are for sb7xx. The built-in southbridge is sb850. I know this from cpu-z-diagnostic-tool. ------------- Update: I just integrated fernandos-driver in nlite: By default nLite only shows *.inf-files. I typed in "*.*" manually an selected the .oem-file. nLite now is listing: Provider: Unknown, Mode: TXT - Napa_i386_ahci8086, Type: unknown, Version: unknown, Date: unknown. Is this correct?

1) The XP-source was not fresh always. I don't remember it exactly. Maybe my first and my last attempt were from a clean source. In between are maybe one or two "unclean" attempts. 2)Yes, in nlite they get listed as text-mode-drivers. When booting from nlite-cd and watching carefully, they also appear at the bottom-line during driver-copy-process, at the beginning of the setup. Which folder are you talking about? The drivers source-folder? Always the same: ahcix86.sys, ahcix86.inf, ahcix86.cat. Sometimes there is also an .oem-file and/or an .exe- or .msi-installer (which don't work because it needs to get started from a catalyst installer). Files in the lenovo-driver-folder from last attempt (ahci for sb850): ahcix86, ahcix86.cat, ahcix86.inf, ahcix86.msi, ahcix86.sys 3)Windows XP SP2 4) See attachment. I always use the "offer repair"-option in nlite's unattended-options. So, no unattended setup. I hope this doesn't cause the problem since I really don't wanna reinstall XP. Actually this is the reason for my .reg-file-attempts - I wann install the driver manually. Last Session.ini

I think I found out how to convert a drivers .inf-file into a reg-file for manual driver-installation. Please take a look at the thread on MSI-Forum. Unfortunately I still didn't get AHCI to run. In the several ATI/AMD-Catalyst-packages are always the same AHCI/RAID-drivers. The actual southbridge-version- and subversion-numbers are only viewable from within linux. In my case the reg-entries made by the inf-files of all tested xp-drivers doesn't match the new hardware. Propably they need to get modified manually, hence the self-made reg-file. Please post here if other driver-downloads/versions are known. Up to now I found no running driver for the upcoming msi u270 with bios-upgrade and intel ssd. The included vista/win7-driver is using a sb7xx-driver. The built-in soutbridge is sb850. So...even more confusion.

I'm using a Intel-SSD (newest firmware) in a MSI-notebook with ID1510-mainboard and sb850-southbridge. I tried activating AHCI for WinXP with many different driver versions but up to now without success (BSODs after switching BIOS from IDE to AHCI-mode). I posted a thread on MSI-forum documenting my steps but got no help. MSI-AHCI/WinXP-Thread. XP-drivers I tried: ahcix86.sys Version: 3.2.1548.37 (march 2010, "fernando-mod"-driver from >here<) 3.2.1540.75 (june 2010, taken from lenovo-website - name: "AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Driver for

With driver no 2 and 3 (catalyst and fernando-mod) I got BSODs in textmode-setup when the message "starting windows" appears (after driver-copy). Can somebody please help me finally integrating the right driver into XP. It can't be that difficult doing a manual driver installation. In worst case maybe even from outside (e.g. with a linux-boot-disk). It took me about three days up to now - I just wanna use my new notebook.
