P67 chipset, Ahci mode with W2k?

[pointertovoid]

Hello you all!

On my ICH10R, disk access in Ahci mode is vital for speed thanks to the Ncq but needs a driver not available from Intel for Win2000.

BlackWingCat's adaptation of the driver to W2k works perfectly, stable, marginally faster than the original driver on Xp.

Does the P67 (and Z68) disk host accept a good Ahci driver for W2k?

- Intel's latest InfInst, v9.2.0.1030, is made for the 6 series (P67, Z68...) and intended officially for W2k but doesn't include the disk host driver.

- Intel's original Ahci driver is meant for Xp, rejects W2k, and makes calls to the wider Xp Api: no chance.

- Did you run BlackWingCat's adaptation successfully on a P67 or Z68? Over some time? What version? Through F6, nLite, HfSlip...?

- Other ideas? I don't want to use a slow JMicron or Marvell disk host added on the Mobo.

Thank you!

Hi, pointertovoid.

I'm using HM65 Chipset with WIndows 2000.

Fantastic !

BWC, I really enjoy your driver adaptation. The only way I know to use with W2k the recent Intel Ahci, which are so much faster than all added JMicron hosts or equivalent. THANK YOU BWC!

BWC, your screenshot shows a "Nec Usb 3.0"... Could you obtain the 3.0 speed on W2k?

Your experience is precious, a thread is begun there

So the driver adapted to W2k runs fine on ICH10R and HM65.

Experience on --- more chipsets ---, please dear forum users?

Thanks!

You know NEC USB 3.0 control hub does not work on windows 2000 as you see this screen shot.

Be careful to nVIDIA Hybrid GPU chipset does not work very well on Windows 2000 and XP.

You can also useIntel HD Graphic Driver for Window 2000.
