allen2 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Did you check your motherboard manufacturer web site ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Is this it? http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=28&cat=3However, one should look out for the first section End-Users: Silicon Image does NOT support End-Users directly. Silicon Image designs and develops chips for manufacturers. These manufacturers develop their own drivers, firmware and software for their boards. Silicon Image does not have information or access to the Drivers, Software or boards that these manufacturers create and sell. We typically assist these manufacturers when they have problems with our chips. End-Users should contact product manufacturer of the board for technical support. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John305 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Hi yes its a abit kv8-max3 if I install windows on the via raid once windows starts it lists a diffrent raid conroller than the sil 3114 but if you right click it and run a sreach for drivers it finds the sil 3114 from windows update. But i need the preinstall with the txtsetup.oem file in it to do a fresh install on the sil 3114. The via does not support ncq and even with the jumper set to 1.5 still wont find it on the via but the sil 3114 does find the new drive. The drivers listed on that site are for the sil 3114 add in card I dont know if they will work as they call for bios BIOS:5.5.00 on that card. Thank You for your help I hope i can find somthing to make it work Edited June 22, 2011 by John305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Is there a reason why you need the driver installed first? Is something not working properly after Windows Update installs the correct driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John305 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi yes win 7 does not have the drivers for the sil 3114 and i want to install the boot drive on the sil so I need the f6 sata driver disk to install to it. As the via sata wont recognise the drive but the sil 3114 does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
