P55-CD53, how to install SATA AHCI drivers and Matrix Storage Manager?

Please excuse my noobness as this is for my first PC build and much of it is Greek to me, but could someone please inform/educate me as to what the following drivers (link) are for and which need to be installed after a fresh installation of Windows 7 Pro x64? Do I need to install all of them because some of these appear to be redundant, just from different manufacturers, or am I mistaken? I have a single 500GB HDD but will probably add more down the road.

After booting from the Windows 7 disc, I selected Repair Windows, Load Drivers. Which specific controllers do I need to install for the P55-CD53 MB since there are multiple controllers listed for each of the four SATA compressed files?
Considering the multiple files and multiple controllers, is there no one out there with a P55-CD53 that has AHCI mode enabled that can give dumbed down instructions on how to do so?
The manual states "Select the appropriate RAID controller and press enter." Well... which one is the appropriate controller? Am I suppose to load the driver for all the AHCI controllers if that's even possible?
For the Intel P55 AHCI / RAID Drivers compressed file, these are the controllers available within F6flpy64\iaAHCI.inf:
Intel(R) ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH 10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH10R SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH8R/DH/DO SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) PCH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 4 Port
Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 Port
Also, regarding the dual BIOS controls for SATA/IDE/RAID settings previously mentioned, I believe SATA ports 1-6 are controlled via Intel and 7,8 are controlled via Jmicron. Considering my HDD is currently plugged into SATA 1, Jmicron probably isn't necessary for the moment.
Edit:
Turns out that none of the drivers for the controllers listed in iaAHCI.inf could be installed. However, I went ahead and installed the drivers listed for all the controllers in iaStor.inf. I reinstalled Windows 7 to get rid of the BSOD. I then installed the chipset drivers and Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

HOW TO install RAID/ AHCI 975x PUE Driver Guide

As below on how to install the matrix driver, there is no 'how to install on a system not already preconfigured with raid/AHCI'. This driver creates a F6 Floppy disc, why? because windows will not recognise your hard in AHCI mode without the driver installed. This is why we get a reboot with AHCI enabled. It gets to a point then when windows loads with no driver it reboots. If you try to load the driver first, the hard ware has not been enabled so there is nothing to install. Reinstall Windows is the only way.
* 5. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
5.1 General Installation Notes
1. If you are installing the operating system on a system
configured for RAID or AHCI mode, you must pre-install
the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager driver using the
F6 installation method described in section 5.3.
2. The 'Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility'
must be installed on the system after a supported
Microsoft* Windows* operating system has been installed.
3. To install the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager,
double-click on the self-extracting and self-installing
setup file and answer all prompts presented.
4. By default, all installed files (readme.txt, help, etc.)
are copied to the following path:
<bootdrive>\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager
5.2 InstallShield* Installation from Hard Drive or CD-ROM
Note: This method is applicable to systems configured for
RAID or AHCI mode.
1. Download the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager setup file
and double-click to self-extract and to begin the setup
process.
2. The 'Welcome' window appears. Click on the Next button
to continue.
3. The 'Uninstallation Warning' window appears. Click on
the Next button to continue.
4. The 'Software License Agreement' window appears. If you
agree to these terms, click on the Yes button to
continue.
5. The 'Choose Destination Location' window appears.
Click on the Next button to continue.
6. The 'Select Program Folder' window appears. Click on
the Next button to continue installing the driver.
7. If the InstallShield* Wizard Complete window is shown
without a prompt to restart the system, click the Finish
button and proceed to step 8. If it is shown with a
prompt to restart the system, click 'Yes, I want to
restart my computer now.' (the default selection) and
click the Finish button. Once the system has restarted,
proceed to step 8.
8. To verify that the driver was loaded correctly, refer
to Section 6.
5.3 Pre-Installation Using the F6 Method
Note:
The Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped if you use the F6 Floppy
disk utility provided by Intel. This utility can also be
downloaded from the following website. These methods
are applicable to systems configured for RAID or
AHCI mode.
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=1809
1. Extract all driver files from the installation package.
See Section 7.2 for instructions on extracting the
files.
2. Create a floppy containing the following files in the root directory:
iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat,
iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
iaStor.sys, and
TxtSetup.oem.
3. At the beginning of the operating system installation, press F6
to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.
4. When prompted, select 'S' to Specify Additional Device.
5. When prompted, insert the floppy disk you created in
step 2 and press Enter.
6. At this point you should be presented with a selection
for one of the following depending on your hardware
version and configuration:
- Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
- Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
- Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)
- Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)
- Intel(R) 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)
- Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH5R)
- Intel(R) 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller
7. Highlight the selection that is appropriate for the
hardware in your system and press Enter.
8. Press Enter again to continue. Leave the floppy disk in
the system until the next reboot as the software will
need to be copied from the floppy disk again when setup
is copying files

Well I went for it, RAID that is. I borrowed a 300GB SATA II Seagate Barracuda from work to backup to and got started. I shall layout how I did it for those having trouble.
So my old config was Maxtor SATA II 80 DiamondMax system drive and a Maxtor SATA I 250GB DiamondMax for Data. Now with the 300GB SATA II to backup to and running in IDE mode enhanced with speed disabled in bios. HDTach benchmarking is in above posts for these drives.
I copied all that data I wanted to extra drive and made a boot floppy and copied the files from the 975xPUE CD for the Intel RAID controller.
CDROM:\IDE\Intel\ICH7R\Floppy\32
Now I shut down my system, removed the bachup drive and entered the bios.
*I set back all my setting to default, no overclock.
*Integrated peripherals/Onboard JMB361 mode: Disabled JMicron controller
*Intergrated peripherals/SATA Devices Configuration/SATA Mode/ Set to RAID,
*SATA Port Speed/Disabled.
*Set system to boot from CDrom.
I put in my floppy and the XP CD and rebooted, CTRL +I to enter the Intel RAID setup and first thing I found out was that with my 80GB and 250GB drives in a RAID 0, I was getting 152GB of a logical drive. So I setup the RAID and rebooted.
80GB+250GB=152GB RAID 0 (I have about 200GB backed up, so I going to have to get another drive, SATA II 300 maybe)
Now the system booted off the XP CD and as it started to load, it read the floppy and I DID not press F6. I noticed that just before the setup screen the system loaded the driver automatically from the floppy. And low and behold it recognised my hard drive 152GB and I kicked off the install.
* Note: After Setup had finished formatting the partition, the system loaded the drivers from the floppy again and then started copying files from the CD before restarting to boot from the hard drive. So if you had already removed the floppy, the drivers for the Intel RAID controller would not be loaded and the second stage of install would never get started, blue screen or not recognise you hard drive.
The rest of the install went very quick and I installed all the drivers and NOW for the juicy bits.
Ok so I thought, how am I going to read my backup drive which is IDE/SATA on my system if it is in RAID. So I connected the drive to the Jmicron SATA port 5 enabled the JMicron controller in the bios and set it to IDE.
*NOTE: After I rebooted the Intel RAID had reverted back to IDE so I had to go back into the bios again and set it back to RAID. When I rebooted I got the Intel RAID slash screen and then the JMicon one showing me the 300GB and asking my to press a button to continue. Quite abit of extra startup time with both enabled.
Windows loaded fine and both my C: 152GB RAID 0 and D: 300GB were there, but the 300GB was showing as a removable device! I know there is a reg fix for that somewhere.
Benchmarking: This is the best bit!
Maxtor Diamond 80GB SATA II and 250GB SATA I = 150GB Logical RAID 0 test with HDTach 3, 8mb test:
Burst Speed : 320.9 mb/s
Average Read : 120.3 mb/s
Now that is some difference from IDE enhanced so well worth the effort!
IDE: Burst Speed: 215.3mb/s
Average Read: 59.0mb/s
Now I also tested the Seagate 300GB SATA II drive which is connected to the JMicron controller in IDE mode and the results show that the JMicron does not support SATA II drives but maxes out SATA I: so even if I do buy and extra drive will I be able to add it to the RAID 0 or will I be stuck with SATA I speeds on the JMicrom controller. No doubt I will soon find out.
Seagate: Burst Speed: 150.5 mb/s
Average Read: 50.5 mb/s
Thanks for the tip Insomniac34

How to install all the drivers for the MacBook with Windows 7 or 8 without the disk from OSX Lion? Where can I find the drivers?

Guys, a have one big problem..My customer brought me a macbook with windows 7 installed to do a format and reinstallation, but she is no longer the OSX Lion, and do not know how to install the sound drivers, "touchpad", among other drivers, how to solve this? Where can I find the drivers? The MacBook is now with Windows 8 installed.

Sorry my bad english..
See is meant. The MacBook has already come for me with Windows 7 installed, checked that it does not have another partition with OSX Lion installed, do not know how the person who did the maintenance before I managed to remove the partition with the Lion, so I can not create a disk or access boot camp because there is no partition Lion and don't own the DVDs of OSX Lion, you understand me?
There is a boot camp Windows executable? Where do I find, since I poked around and found nothing on ...
The sound driver is installed, but not working ... and the rest are missing there also, the trackpad also does not work correctly, the right button does not work ... My experience with mac is low, it may be that you do not know how it works correctly the trackpad

How to install forms 6i runtime using windows Systems Management Server?

Here is a quick summary on why this works...
The Problem:
The issue relies with the method and logic that MDT’s scripts use to query and validate that the proper disks, partitions and storage space reside before starting the installation of Windows.
Essentially what you have configured in the Task Sequence and the UNATTEND.xml is analyzed by the MDT scripts then a validation is completed against the hardware in which you wish to install Windows
on and if there are any errors you will be prompted with MDT Error or Warning dialogs.
The problem is that the MDT scripts use WMI to query the hard disk, partition and free space requirements for Windows, but in the case of using GPT disk, the 2nd partition (MSR) that you have to create
is hidden. The class that WMI uses for its query can’t see the MSR partition so instead of 3 partitions, it returns 2 in the query results; hence why DISK 0 PARTITION 3 doesn’t work as mentioned earlier when configured in the MDT Task Sequence.
Although the above still confuses me as to why it works with DISK 0 PARTITION 2 since the WMI query results return PARTITION IDs 0 and 1 when it should return 1 and 2…
The Windows Pre-Installation Environment however does see all 3 partitions correctly and we tried configuring in our Task Sequence to install Windows to DISK 0 and PARTITION 2 and in the UNATTEND.xml
file to install Windows to DISK 0 and PARTITION 3 but due to timing issues of the way Windows installs with MDT, did this not work for us.

How to install ias 1.0 and 8.1.6.1 on a single red hat 6.1 machine

How to install ias 1.0 and 8.1.6.1 on a single red hat 6.1 machine.
i am expecting a lot of problems during the ias installation, the db is working fine. is posible to install both products over the same machine?

You should be able to iAs and the DB on the same machine but you will need to do the following:
1. Create a new ORACLE_HOME for iAS (unsetenv ORACLE_HOME and setenv ORACLE_HOME to new home)
2. Shutdown the DB in the existing Oracle home and change the corresponding listener port in listener.ora to a port other than the typical default (1521)
3. Install iAS in the new Oracle home
4. Make sure none of the listeners in the listener.ora under the new Oracle home are listening on the same port as that which you set for the existing DB listener.
In general it is advisable to install iAS EE on a different machine than the origin database to realize the full benefits of iCache (EE)

How to install Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal?

Hi All,
I am new to Weblogic Portal. I would like to start learning Oracle Weblogic Portals..
Can anyone please guide me, how to install Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal?
As per the ""Tutorials – Getting Started with WebLogic Portal"" (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/tutorials/setup_dev_env.html)
we need to install the Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal.
Please suggest me where should i get the required environments/IDE?
Thanks,
Harish.

Hi Harish
1. If this is your first time with Weblogic Portal, I would recommend to download the latest Weblogic Portal Software Rel 10.3.2 from this bottom link. Check Accept Radio button, for windows download windows installer. Its about 1 GB file. This software includes Eclipse IDE, Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/wlp/index.html
2. During the installation process, make sure at one point you select Custom mode (NOT default Typical mode). In next following screens you will see all bundles checked EXCEPT for Samples. So make sure you check Samples Check box both under Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal. Then proceed. This will install full Weblogic Workshop (Eclipse IDE), Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal. This is the good installation package. Also it will install samples for Portal and Server. If you select all default typical mode, it will NOT install samples. You can install samples later on also, but its good at installation time itself you select custom and check Samples also.
3. WLP 10.3.2 uses Eclipse IDE. If you are familiar with Eclipse IDE this should be helpful. Otherwise also, its ok.
4. For learning WLP, in Eclipse IDE, you need to create Portal EAR Project, then Portal Web Project. Inside portal web project create simple jsp hello world portlets and a simple portal.
5. For Deploying and Testing Portal application you need to create Portal Domain using config wizard. You can see this from Start -> Programs -> Oracle Weblogic Portal shortcut -> Weblogic Server -> Tools -> Configuration Wizard.
6. You can start Workshop IDE from Start -> Program Files -> Oracle Weblogic Portal ...-> Eclipse For Weblogic 10.3.2
Here are the links for quick start guide for portal development. Please do refer them.

Need help with XP instal. stuck at: Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver

I've bought a new 2.0 ghz laptop with vista blah blah but i want to change to XP.
I've
bought a new copy of XP and am ready to go then first issue was during
installation the screen says can't find harddrive installed.
I
then found some thread somewhere which i've lost that said to buy an
external floppy drive and downloaded that floppy driver thingy that i
need to get past that stage from the toshiba website..
FYI driver name: SA200 ACHI F6-1017-XP
That
worked fine.. when it said press F8 if you agree to install XP i nearly
wet myself.. anyhow after it formatted the drive it then asked me this:
Insert the disk labeled:
*Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver*
into drive A:
* Press ENTER when ready
WTF are you talking about laptop? can someone please help me past this stage?
:-( :-( i only want XP installed.
So far its been like 3 weeks since i've been trying to install it
Message was edited by: IamMILOS

Here are detailed instructions I found earlier:
Installing a Retail (street copy) version of Windows XP on a Vista Toshiba Laptop.
- If the Toshiba laptop has a seperate BIOS for XP and Vista, download and flash the XP BIOS over the Vista BIOS.
- If XP Setup does not detect the SATA Hard Disk, simply turn on "SATA Compatibility Mode" in the BIOS if applicable. If this option is not available, follow these steps:
1) Download the Windows XP SATA F6 driver from the Toshiba Support/Downloads Website.
If an individual F6 driver is not available, download and unzip the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package should contain some folders under the "F6flpy" folder. For example: ICH7M_32bit for an ICH7 based chipset when installing Windows XP 32bit.
2) Copy the F6 driver files (iastor.inf, etc..) to a blank floppy disk. The actual files must reside in the root directory of the Floppy Disk. For example, A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc..
3) Use a Toshiba USB Floppy Drive with the Toshiba notebook. (some non-Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not function properly during XP setup)
4) Boot from Windows XP CD-ROM, start the installation and ensure the floppy disk is inserted in the USB Floppy Drive.
5) When XP Setup prompts you to press F6 to install a Storage Driver, immediately press F6.
6) When XP Setup prompts you to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue. For example: ICH7M Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, ICH8M Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller
7) Keep the Floppy Drive attached and Floppy Disk inserted until XP has completed its installation. Do not Partition or Format the Hard Disk during XP Setup. The SATA drivers from the Floppy Disk are copied and stored on the Hard Disk during XP installation.

Install Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Automated Storage Management (A

Do I have to install Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Automated Storage Management (ASM) for ETL
I have installed Oracle 10g Release 1 on WIndows 2000 with datawarehousing option.
Is it ok
Or do I need to install Oracle database again.
Please help

Greg,
From what you describe you did exactly the right thing. The runtime platform service will by default run on DWH01, but you can shut it down on that node and have it run on DWH02 (in case you wanted to bring down DWH01 but still run Warehouse Builder processes). Note that we strongly recommend using the net service name in the location registration in the deployment manager (so that you automatically take advantage of the client-side load balancing feature of RAC (as well as the server-side load balancing)).
Thanks,
Mark.

SATA Drivers and SATA AHCI Drivers for Zen 4.01 ir7 Boot CD

Our Zenworks Server is Zen 4.01 ir7 and we use Zen 4.01 ir7 Boot CD at our schools to install the Zen Parition which uses Linux Kernel 2.4.31.
I have no problem finding and compiling drivers for our Zen 4 boot cd and putting the correct information (.o file) in the NET folder under the DRIVERS folder and modify the DRIVER.CONF correctly as well.
Our only issue is that newer computers are coming out with SATA drives and some of the newer computers are coming out with SATA drives that support AHCI.
Are there SATA drivers and SATA drivers that support AHCI that we can put into our Zen 4.01 ir7 (Linux Kernel 2.4.31) and if so is there a link you can send me too and basically how do you put these drivers into the Zen 4.01 ir7 bootcd?
Thanks!

You may want to see if you can download and use a ZDM7 boot disk.
I've never tried it, but it may work.

Novice - How To Install SATA Drive on K8N Neo2 Platinum

My current 2 SATA drives are almost at max capacity and hooked up to SATA 3 & 4 slots. How do I go about installing a new SATA drive on slot 1 or 2? I thought SATA was plug n play and all I had to do was enable SATA ports 1 to 4 in BIOS. I've searched online and found articles pertaining to limitations on SATA slots 1&2, RAID configuration, VT8237 & Promise 20579 drivers --- and I am utterly confused
This is the hard drive that I've been eyeing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148144 I only want to attach it to a bay in my PC and use it as storage, not install Windows. Can someone provide clear cut directions for a novice like me on how to install it?

Enable the sata ports, which you intend to use with it.
Jumper drive to sata I mode.
Connect new drive.
Boot into windows and go to disk management where you will see it listed.
You will need to partition and format it there.
Once completed it will show up in My Computer and be ready to use.

How to install my onboard Networkcard and where do i find the drivers?

I have updated my computer with some hardware and i now need to install the sound and network drivers again. I think i found the sound drivers but i cant find the network driver. Anyone got a link for me? And how do you install these drivers? Just run the installfile and everything goes automatic or is it more complicated?
Btw: I have Windows XP on a 40gb harddisk and a maxtor 300gb harddisk on secondary master. But in windows xp it only show 127gb (i think i was). Why?
Thanks for all the help.
BTW: If anyone got any other nice pages to get my mainboard up to speed, bring it:)

Windows needs SP1 or greater to recognize drives larger than 137GB. Install SP1 or SP2 and partition the remaining space via disk management.
And we can't give you any info on the network card without knowing what motherboard it is.

Help on how to install ODBC Oracle drivers

I need to install ODBC drivers for Oracle on a W95 machine.
I tryed to install ODBC Oracle drivers on my W95 machine but when
I extracted the zipped file from ora8052 it created a directory
called win32; then I searched for the 'setup' executable...
without to find one...
In the readme file, on 'software required' I read that I need the
Oracle Net8 client and teh Oracle8 installer to install ODBC.
Where can I find Oracle Net8 client and teh Oracle8 installer
without downloading all the try and by version of Oracle??

Fulvio,
you have to get hold of a CD containing Oracle Client software;
you should ask Oracle for it. SQL*Net itself is free for
owners of the server license, but I do not know how Oracle
handles users of the free development kits. If you plan to
use Oracle for software development I strongly recommend to enter
one of the partner programmes; it's not free, but very good value
for money.
