ok heres my progblem i have an SATA 80GB hard drive intel 915 gux motherboard pentium 4 3.4 ghz processor. now just a little while ago i noticed that in intel desktop utilities it said my hard drive had a max transfer rate of UDMA 5 (ATA/100)but since mines is SATA it should be 150 right? so then i get a diskette from intel and i reformat and at install screen i click on ICH6R Raid . that doesnt work then i click on ICH6R AHCI that doesnt work. but htne i dowload chipset ID utility it tells me that my motherboard I/O controller is 82801 FB (ICH6) then i read the read me on the floppy and that says the floppy is good for - Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ESB) - Intel® 82801FR I/O Controller Hub (ICH6R) - Intel® 82801FBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH6M) - Intel® 82801ER I/O Controller Hub (ICH5R) and now i believe that the FB is different then FBM and ICH6 Is differetn ffrom ICH6R. But i cannot find any download for my mobo so i ask for any help if any one has my same mobo or if someone has found this file or if they can try to find it cuz i have been trying for 2 days and still cant find it. Thank You

i foudn this in some other forums it syas its a patch for ICH6 SATA controller(which is what i need) but i dotn know what is going on any help please?also it says patch attached but its nothere. and is apatch the floppy used before setting up XP?

also after reading from the intel website it says the SATA is integrated onto the board. just incase it helps

Originally posted by theefool: Quote: I'm pretty confused on what you are trying to do. If you only have one drive, then you can't setup any type of RAID. Though, when you install XP, you do need your SATA controller drivers that came with your mother board. well im only setting up one drive but my problem is that i didnt get sata drivers with my board. werent they supposed to be on a floppy? cuz i i did not get a floppy. id did get 2 Cds one is just with drivers (none sata)and bios. the other with trusted platform module on it. so im guessing they wanted me to Downlaod the drivers but i cant find them

ok i have found this site ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/manuals/30144401.pdf but i dont understand whats going on

his guys htis is a thread i ahve been waiting for a while ok my intel mobo says its IHCI6 but hteres no R at the end. everything is correct expet fo the R and i cant get it to in stall. shoudl i use raid or AHCI? minesi s intel 915gux
