K7N2GM-V SATA Drivers

Purchased the subject MB and am atttempting to install XP to a WD 80gb serial harddrive. OS install states I must load SATA drivers however I can't locate any such animal.
Where do I find the drivers? Hard drive is a Western digital WD800JB if that matters.
Also is there anything special I need to do to make HD the boot drive?
Thanks M Bruns

Your mobo should come with the SATA drivers (if it's an MSI mobo, of corse).
Usually, it comes on a floppy disk.

Hard-Drive not Detected load sata drivers

Hi everyone I have a G6-1189sa notebook, I had a faulty harddrive so replaced it with the exact same drive 750GB WD, Thing is I could not save anything from the original drive ? so no recovery partitions are anything I even lost all my family photos and software.
Ok so I done a straight swap over and went ahead installing my fresh Windows 7 x64 disk, then I got an error message saying no device detected please install driver etc etc.
I know I need to install the sata driver for the harddrive to be detected, so I extracted the HP sata control driver to a USB pen the tried to load the driver, with the load driver option on the install disk.
Error message saying driver is not signed !!!! So after some reading on google I learned I had to disable the naitive sata option in the bios settings for the harddrive to be detected.
Thing is there is not a option for this in my bios ? unless Im missing something like an advanced bios setting.
I even went to the Intel site and tried some of there drivers but I get the same error message driver not signed.
So my question is ? how can I disable the native sata option if Its possible , If not how can I load the HP sata driver if its not signed.
Its very anyoing someone even said I have to slip the drivers in and make a new home made W7 disk myself to get my pc working again what the hell, where would I start.
Maybe I should put the laptop in the post and send it back, Ive never had so much trouble before making simple memory and harddrive exchanges.
Any advice please people Im at my wits end, my laptop is only a few month old and its now a door stopper lol

Hi,
Boot into the bios and be sure that the hard drive is detected.
Sata drivers are included in Windows 7.
Return the bios to its default settings and use the HP Recovery Disks. If you don't have the Recovery Disks then order them from HP. Order HP recovery Disks.

Equium P200-1ED Installing Windows XP Problem - SATA Drivers

I have just bought a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED laptop with Vista installed and want to install my copy of Windows XP Pro. This is the latest disc with SP2 included.
When I boot up it does not recognise the hard drive. I assume I need to download these drivers and load them onto a floppy and hit F6 when the windows setup screen prompts me to do so.
Questions are;
1) Where can I get these drivers from?
2) Will the machine recognise a USB floppy Drive?
3) Am I right about what I need to do?
Thanks in advance for your help. :8}

How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08
Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 PSAF5E
Introduction
These are the steps taken by us to remove Vista from our Toshiba laptop and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we may not have all of the exact drivers installed, but everything appears to work OK for us.
Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes faster and is more stable.
This is not a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a passing knowledge of computers as it is very easy to screw things up. The shop you bought your PC from will charge a lot to fix things and they will probably insist on re-installing Vista!!.
Be prepared that this will also probably invalidate your warranty.
Luckily, I have a 2nd PC running XP that allows me to access the web. This is very useful as it means that while your Vista machine is 'broken' you can still search for help and download driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the modified XP installation CD mentioned further on.
You must have access to the web via some PC or other to get the required drivers.
Method
Firstly, while you still have Vista on your laptop machine, download and run an interrogation program such as 'Belarc advisor' which will list all the drivers and software that are installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference.This may be useful later when searching on the web for any drivers that may need updating.
Now, make sure you have noted down all the required settings for your Internet connection.
Also, backup any files that you may have placed on the hard drive as you will lose the lot including any emails and address books and web favourites etc.
Unfortunately, the Toshiba disc that comes with this laptop does not appear to have any of the required drivers with it. Instead, I think that it relies on Vista keeping copies on your hard drive. This is not very bright as when the hard drive fails you have lost everything!
This therefore means that you have to go on the web and search for all the required drivers to run XP successfully.
Some we could not find, for example the Wireless network adapter, however this was no problem as once we had installed XP and connected to the web via the Ethernet cable to our Router we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each item missing.
Go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
The ones we did this way were: Wireless adapter, Audio adapter.
Unfortunately an original XP SP2 CD does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore when you boot the CD it will, after a few minutes of installing files, say that you have a hardware problem as there are no drives present.
To rectify this, you will need to download the correct Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller drivers. I couldn't find this on the Intel website, but instead searched on Google for it. and got it from: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
The other required drivers that we found on the web were:

On the right hand side, select 'W2000/ XP/2003/Vista x86 & x64 Multi-Language Installer (32-bit and 64-bit) for Yukon Devices'
Creating the XP Drivers disc
Add the SATA drivers to a copy of your XP install CD using a program such as NLite.
You will need enough spare hard drive memory to take a copy of your XP install CD (approx 700MB).
Run the program 'sp37005.exe' and it will install to your hard drive. Don't install to a floppy.
Download 'NLite' from: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
When you run NLite it will probably say that you need to install '.net Framework', if so, quit NLite and go and find the program. This is a Microsoft program that you can find by searching on Google for the relevant page on the Microsoft website.
Now place your XP install disc in your CD drive, if it autoruns, exit it.
Then run Nlite and follow on screen instructions.
The program will ask where your XP disc is then it will ask where you want to save the copy.
On the 'Task selection' screen select 'Drivers' and 'Bootable ISO'. then press 'Next'.
Now select 'Insert' then 'Multiple Driver folder' and go and find your downloaded SATA driver files. Now select 'All' and 'OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Only select the two that mention 'ICH8M'. Now press 'Next'. The screen will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' again and then 'Yes' to the prompt, and then 'Next' when done
You are now presented with the 'Bootable ISO' screen.
Put a new burnable CD in your CD writer, wait for it to be recognised and exit any window that might pop up to allow you to install files
Now, in Nlite, under 'Mode' select 'Direct Burn'
Under 'Label' enter something like ' XP for Toshiba Equium A200' to identify the disc.
Leave Advanced settings alone and now add in the other required drivers by clicking explore and copying them to the root directory of the temporary XP directory on your hard disc. It might be best to create a 'Drivers' folder in the root directory to make them easy to find later.
Now click the 'Burn' button. Now follow the rest of the instructions to complete.
You have now created an XP install disc which contains your required SATA drivers.
-As you can tell, this is quite convuluted but avoids you having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution.
Hasta La Vista!!
Now you are ready to begin the cleansing process, if you are brave enough to continue....
Firstly, re-boot your laptop and while booting press F12 to change the boot order so that the DVD/CD ROM is first. Alternatively use F2 and then change the Boot order from there.
Now insert your new XP install disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, selecting boot from CD when prompted.
The XP CD will now start copying files and eventually will display an options screen
Select to install Windows.
Then delete the C: hard drive partition (with Vista on)
Delete the F drive partition used by Vista also.
You will have to follow lots of warning prompts to delete the partitions.
Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive.
Now install XP as instructed.
Don't worry that the graphics are a bit chunky as once Windows has finished installing you can run the graphics driver you copied to the the XP CD to correct this.
Run the three driver files:
win2k_xp14311.exe Intel graphics driver
infinst_autol.exe Intel chipset software installation utility'
setup.exe Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
Your graphics should now improve and you should now be able to connect to the web (after running the web setup wizard). But don't do this until you have installed your Antivirus and Firewall software.
Now go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
Hopefully, everything should now run OK.
Now go and have a drink to celebrate!

Installing Windows XP professional and F6 (3rd party SATA drivers)

Forgive me if this is answered somewhere. I found a posting that was close but not quite the same, or maybe it is. This is my first system I have put together so please excuse the newby status. I am Using the K8T Neo2 motherboard (Via Tech VT8237 SATA) and the AMD 64 bit 3500+ chip. I have hooked up 2 Seagate 120 Gb Serial ATA hard drives. Also have a Sony DVD r/w drive and a 3.5 " floppy and they all seem to show up in the setup menu.
When I try to install the operating system (Windows XP professional) and the bottom of the screen says, press F6 for third party SATA drivers I press F6 and it does nothing but continue to load windows files up to the point when it does not recognize a hard drive and I have to exit with F3. Can anyone help???????? What is the possible reason hitting F6 does nothing, I have rebooted and tried several times. I cannot get to the point to choose the third party SATA driver. This is getting very frustrating...... Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hm...this is kind of a longshot, but you're not using the "Logitech Elite" keyboard ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=23-126-114&depa=0 ), are you? This keyboard has an annoying feature called the "F-Lock" because Logitech decided to apply custom functions to the various F-buttons (an okay idea in and of itself), and then foolishly decided to set the custom functions as being the default behavior of the buttons, so that the only way pressing "F6" actually causes the F6 keystroke to be sent is if the F-lock is enabled (which is extremely stupid...the keys should send the normal F-commands with the lock off, and having the lock on should enable the custom commands). If you have this keyboard, then just enable the F-lock and try again and it should work.
...if you have some other keyboard, then the above suggestions are good...always mash the hell out of F-buttons, and if it's a USB keyboard that isn't working right, try a PS2 keyboard. You might also be able to affect things by enabling "USB Legacy" support in the BIOS, though take note that having this enabled may cause your system to become unbootable (until the setting is turned back off).

Storage management Sata Drivers

Hi,
I installed xp on lenovo g550 by switching to IDE mode, after that i installed all sort of drivers iincluding sata drivers for sata channels, but when I switch back to AHCI mode & boot, Os will not load, Only blue screen comes & laptop restarts & this will continue till I again switch back to IDE mode.
Can Any one help how to configure sata drivers & boot into ACHI mode?
Thanks

Download AHCI drivers from Intel here.
Than, manualy istall it from device manager, under IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers. Search something like "Intel ICH9 port Serial ATA Storage Controller". In one of next screens select "Dont search. I will choose the driver to install" and select path to unpacked driver. Choose the correct AHCI driver for your controller. After this, restart your operating system, enter bios, select AHCI mode for SATA controller and boot into OS.

Which SATA drivers do you use for nForce3 chipset?

Windows Generic or the ones that come with the nForce3 drivers?
When using the nForce drivers, my hard drive operates louder and the light appears to be flickering a lot more (indicating more hdd access) when compared to the Windows XP drivers.
Which do you use? What should I be using? I remember reading some threads that said nForce SATA drivers suck... but that was months ago.
Thanks for any info
(Please note that I am NOT, I repeat, NOT talking about RAID, just standard serial ATA)

lol, guess no one uses hard drive drivers

Plat SLI and Silicon Sata Drivers (Fixed but Weird)

Hello all, since I started manually flashing bioses to test for the 219 cold boot hypertransport bug fix, I noticed that whenever I flashed to a new bios the silicon sata drivers were the only thing that was not recognized in windowsxp under a different bios. I have flashed back to my original 3.1 bios, and the silicon sata driver is recognized.
I did try to reload the silicon image raid drivers in the beta (and I tried 3.2 too) but it was a no go. Am I supposed to do something with these silicon drivers before I flash to a new bios? Or do you have to do something special after I flash?

Can SATA drivers be loaded in windows????

Hi,
I forgot to click on F6 when loading windows XP to install my SATA drives. How can that be done now that XP has been installed?
I also have drive letters all over the place. HD1 is I and HD2 is J. I think I can change them in system maint.
Thanks,
Swen

Hello Swen,
Glad to see you made it back to this forum after the database program they experienced last night. Tried to send you a personal message this morning but you were not even in the database anymore. Hope you got my last message.
You do not need to install SATA drivers with F6 during windows installation. The F6 step described in your manual is only needed if you intend to install your operating system to a SATA drive or a RAID set up. If your operating system is being install to IDE drive then your SATA driver can be installed later on after you got windows on board as part of the Nvidia 5.10 drivers package. If you are really intending to install your operating system to a SATA drive then go to this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76886.0
If not, you will have windows XP set up, goto device manager and then left click on + sign in front of "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" & then right click on "Nvidia nForce4 Serial ATA controller" & then select properties. In the new windows that opened select the driver tab. This will list what you have installed as a SATA driver.
Whatever you do make sure that you get the latest Nvidia 5.10 drivers package from the Nvidia site itself. I believe that MSI site still only offers version 5.03.
For your drive letter question simply click on start and then "Help and Support". When help and support windowns opens up, type this in the search window and then press the search arrow: "assign change or remove a drive letter". You can then look at the left hand result window and select "assign change or remove a drive letter". The right hand pane will now offer you two methods to use to proceed:
1- Windows interface
2- Command lines

Portege R600 - where can I find the correct SATA drivers?

I wish to install a solid state drive, and to maintain XP. Setting the correct partition alignment in the SSD and electromechanically installing it are now easy, but there is apparently a SATA driver problem because I cannot boot to either the Toshiba restore disk, a new XP install disk, or an image of the original HDD.
Some have suggested using nlite to slipstream the correct SATA drivers into the XP install, and then beginning from scratch with all app installations, etc.
When I look at the laptop's Devices, I find the Toshiba MK1652GSX HDD, drivers for which appear at
C:\WINDOWS\system21\DRIVERS - then
PartMgr.sys, pssnap.sys, and thpdrv.sys
Is that what nlite needs?
Is there another source for the SATA drivers for this laptop?
Thanks!

Hi, This is my very first letter in this community, so have me excused, if I use it wrong..I reply to the asking for SATA-drivers to R600, nor because I have a solution, but to ask for help myself in a matter much alike: I bought a r600, whishing to downgrade to XP. Unfortunately I did not recieve the XP-downgrade CD together with the Laptop, and now I simply can not get connection to the harddisk, when trying to install XP with a standard XP-boot installCD, even I read about and tried severel INTEL floppy images with Sata-drivers to impose during start of boot with the F6-command: They simply do not work!!
My question; Do ANY that read me in this community have a such XPdowngrade-CD from their puchase of the portege r600 that they do not use, AND WILL BE WILLING TO SELL TO ME ? Message with offer through my home mail? cheers, Niel, Aarhus, Denmark

870 G54 XP Sata drivers?

Hi I just installed a 870a g54 motherboard and get a BSOD stop screen when I try to boot XP which is most likely because of missing sata drivers. I have done a repair install but that didn't install the drivers i need. Anyone know where to find the XP sata controller drivers I need so i can include them on a xp disc using nlite?

Did you look here:

Hi I just installed a 870a g54 motherboard and get a BSOD stop screen when I try to boot XP which is most likely because of missing sata drivers.
You can't just replace a mainboard and expect Windows XP to boot up as normal. The BSOD is normal in this case. Best to do a fresh install if a repair install fails.
Are you using RAID? If not, you don't even need SATA drivers, if you set the SATA controller to run in 'IDE' mode.

Ordered a P35 Neo, where do I get the SATA drivers?

Hi
I ordered a computer with a MSI P35 Neo mainboard yesterday. It is going to be assembled by the company that I bought it from, so I was going to download the SATA drivers and put them on a floppy, since I'm not sure if the company that assembles the computer will send me the floppy with the drivers on it. However, when I looked at the driver page for the P35 Neo, http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1215 , there are no SATA drivers. Does this mean that I don't need any SATA drivers for Windows XP or Vista, or do I have to get them elsewhere?

you are correct, you don't need SATA drivers. they are fully supported in XP/Vista.
The only time you'll need drivers is if you create a RAID setup. but single drive setups are good to go.

Floppy sata drivers needed

Guys, need drivers for loading to a single WD Raptor drive during Installation (as a single S-ATAdrive) of W XP pro (hit F6 key, load drivers)
Got a OEM board from Ebay no software included and aren´t bright enough to find them on MSI tws homepage can only find drivers in bundle packages, as far as I know they are supplied as a bootable floppy disc with the full retail version of this board 875 NEO-FIS board.
Would really appreciate the help, e-mail to: [email protected]
Regards!

You don't need SATA drivers to install windows----only if you are making an SATA RAID configuration with more than one SATA drive, and that doesn't sound like you are doing that. However, you do need to configure the BIOS correctly so that your SATA drive is recognized. Make sure the SATA drive is enabled (look around in BIOS, I can't remember off the top of my head exactly where it is). Here are the proper settings, which I lifted from the FAQ on the first page of this forum:
For Native Mode: (You want to choose NATIVE, not legacy)
ATA Configuration: SATA Only or PATA only, depending on which you want to be the FIRST BOOT device!
S-ATA Keep Enabled: Yes if you chose PATA only
P-ATA Keep Enabled: Yes if you chose SATA Only
PATA Channel Selection: Both
Combined Mode Operation: PATA First/SATA First, depending on which you want to act as 1st Channel.
S-ATA Ports Definition: - P0-1st/P1-2nd or P0-3rd/P1-4th, depending on which you want to act as Master.
However, there are some other things you're gonna need if you got an OEM board with no drivers. Please note that both of the following links provide more recent and updated versions of drivers than are provided by the MSI download page.
Go Here:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/filter_results.asp?strOSs=44&strTypes=DRV%2CARC%2CUTL&ProductID=1043&OSFullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&submit=Go%21
This page has links for all the Intel 875p stuff you might need.
You will need to download and have ready the program from link #1, which should be the first thing you run after you complete the Windows install. YOU MUST DO THIS for the board to operate correctly.
You will also need network adapter drivers for the Intel Pro-1000, which can be found here:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/proc/T8Clearance.asp?sType=&agr=Y&PrdMap=&ProductID=871&url=/4233/eng/PRO2KXPM.exe
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
