More new amd drivers, and its getting more confusing. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx#1 Fun times!

Thanks Fernando. I will try and slipstream it into my XP Pro SP3 this weekend if I have time and probably format whenever I get some more spare time. I am running in IDE mode now and just want to run in SATA mode with ahci (non-raid). I read I can do it by editing the registry and then changing the option in the BIOS. But it's due for a format anyway and then this will save the F6 load the sata driver hassle. Cheers

Currently I am making holidays in a foreign country and only am able to join an Internet Café. I will present freshly modded RAID and Intel driver from AMD when I am back home. Rgards Fernando Wow Awesome!! Thanks Fernando!! Enjoy your holidays. I look forward to your AMD AHCI XP slipstream driver!! Sorry for double post.

It does support SB7xx, but a user in another topic reported it wasn't working for SB850 I can report 3.3.1540.13 works on SB750 if you install it on a live system, but I can't tell about CD integration. Anyway, download the 3.2.1548.37 drivers, open ahcix86.inf or TXTSETUP.OEM and compare the Hardware IDs to your controller (in Device Manager), especially DEV_438x or DEV_439x. If they match, you should be good to go. Cheers Thanks for the quick reply and info. I am currently running XP in IDE mode, and plan to run SATA mode on my upcoming format, so there wasn't really much info in the device manager, since it only showed the IDE channel in device manager and no sata/scsi. I have extracted and read though several amd drivers now, one thing I noticed is that they don't update the ahci driver very much. As for all the numbers and stuff, I don't really know what all the dev stuff is, as I don't have much experience with software coding.

Thanks for your searching, finding and uploading these new AMD AHCI/RAID textmode drivers for Windows XP/XPx64 dated 04/06/2010 (32bit) resp. 03/24/2010 (64bit).Since the original AMD textmode drivers v3.2.1548.37 only will support AMD SB7xx AHCI/RAID and AMD SB8xx RAID systems and have some needless entries within the TXTSETUP.OEM files, which may cause error messages regarding "missing files" while installing the OS,I have customized them. Here are the download links to the original and WHQL certified drivers, where I have just cleaned the TXTSETUP.OEM files: >32bit AMD SB7xx & SB8xx AHCI/RAID driver v3.2.1548.37 prepared for the XP integration< >64bit AMD SB7xx & SB8xx AHCI/RAID driver v3.2.1548.37 prepared for the XP x64 integration< Attention: These drivers will not work with AMD SB6xx chipsets, because the HardwareID's are missing! Users with an AMD SB6xx chipset mainboard, who want to use these newest AMD textmode drivers for Windows XP (32/64bit), may try one of these drivers, which have been customized by me: >32bit AMD SBxxx textmode driver v3.2.1548.37 for XP mod by Fernando< >64bit AMD SBxxx textmode driver v3.2.1548.37 for XPx64 mod by Fernando< Attention:These packages do contain the original 32/64bit AMD driver. I have only customized the associated text files with the suffix ".OEM" and ".INF". Due to the customization the driver has lost the WHQL stamp, but this doesn't have any effect on the function of the driver. Although I have done my very best, I cannot guarantee, that they will work for your system. You may try them at own risk. Good luck! Fernando Great thread, I registered and revived it, for I need some guidance. I see amd's newest driver raid (ahci) cat 11-5 has SB850 03/14/2011 (3.3.1540.13) in it and the SB750 is 03/17/2009 (3.1.1540.127) Whereas Fernando's SBxxx mod is 3.2.1548.37 - from catalyst #?? I currently dual boot xp pro x86 and w7 pro x64 (separate hdds) I currently run a gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H (790GX and SB750) and I am going to put in an SSD in the near future for the w7 drive and I will be reformatting the XP drive also as I will be changing from ide to sata mode in BIOS and would like to slipstream the drivers into my SP3 cd. I am just wondering if I should use Fernando's old 'above' mod, or try to slipstream the newer AMD drivers?? Fernando, does your mod support both the SB7xx and SB8xx?? I also plan a mobo upgrade to SB850 in the future also. Can you do another driver mod for nlite Fernando or is that too much work/time? Thanks for the help.
