What fudge Intel?...why couldn't they create a new info string for ICH10 without adding it to ICH8/9 :confused:

Finally, i can enable this option in Device Manager!!! :D
Previous driver releases would not allow the options to be enabled... :p:

Will these work with a X48 board and ICH9R.... :shrug:

Would it be a good idea to use these for ICH9R?

I'm wondering the same....although i dont use RAID - just single drives.
04-28-2008, 09:35 PM
Richard Dower

To the three posters above....yes, these drivers will work with ICH9R and ICH8R. I'm using X38 with ICH9R in RAID 0. The drivers work just fine.

Schweet!

But I'm still wondering where in the hell I can enable NCQ, can't find anything conclusive on the net. :shrug:

ncq is enabled by default on intel chipssets if the harddrive supports it and you are running sata/raid mode.

Of course you might also have to jumper your hdds correctly.

Any improvement over the old drivers?

Wonderful. I've read before that it's enabled by default, problem is when I check the discs via Everest, it only showes them as "Supported", not "Supported, Enabled". I just checked and found out that the Raptor indeed has a jumper field, I just have to find now how to set it to NCQ enabled I guess..

Edit: Checked it, there IS no jumper setting for Raptors to enable NCQ. I guess there must be another way to enable it. The controller already runs in AHCI mode, so where is the darn switch to enable NCQ. Will try the new chipset drivers later..

Thanks a lot for this heads up. I too was never able to enable the write back caching on any of my drives. These drivers cleared that issue right up. So far no issues with installing, booting from, or having my drives recognized in Vista X64. Definitely keepers for me. I love how they come with the loader files too.

Can these just be installed over my existing INTEL driver? I'm also using a RAID 0 setup if it matters. Or should I just wait till my next format to install these.
04-29-2008, 11:32 AM
Richard Dower

Yes, go into Device Manager and click update drivers, they'll overwrite but you'll be prompted to restart the PC. Overwriting won't do any harm.

As for next format, no need for a fresh install...just have your Floppy or USB drives equiped with the new drivers for a future fresh install.

very nice, gotta try it

but is there a method to integrate them with nlite or any other tool during windows installation?

Very nice driver........I can **FINALLY** enable these options again..

Yes, by using nlite..it allows for slipstreaming of drivers.

I can enable to options as well in Manager 7.8, but when I close that window and open it back up... I get the two unchecked boxes again. :shrug:

Is this what Manager 8.0 fixes? Is that what you meant by your post? Sorry, I a bit slow. :p:

Ok, "Enable write caching on the disk" WORKS NOW YAH! Now, why I don have the second Advanced performance option? I only have one drive in my system 25GB sliced. Just used the Enabled AHCI after instlling Xp method.

I Enabled AHCI in the BIOS and am running my drive on a non-RAID setup.

Works great, getting higher transfers across the board.

Obvious question but I will ask anyway, after changing from IDE to AHCI I have lost access to my one IDE DVD Burner on the J-micron controller, this is normal?

Not a big deal I don't use the drive anyway but would like some confirmation.

Thanks

This seems to only be an option in XP64 / server2003 / Vista OS'es only. The PC's in my house that use XP home DO NOT offer this option for whatever reason.

Hey, the F6 drivers that are required when installing XP and Vista with RAID are not working. Appearntly they are 32-bit only. I tried on Server 2008 x64 and it just said "Windows was unable to install the drivers, please contact your vendor for an updated version". It was not until I tried using them on XP x64 that I discovered the problem. It actually said that they were 32-bit and not compatible with 64-bit windows.

Anybody have a copy of the x64 F6 drivers? If not, will the older intel ones work, the 7.8?

I could do the write back option on previous version to. (P5B-DL mobo set to AHCI and using Vista)
I lost that ability when I installed Intel Matrix manager.
So with no Intel matrix write back OK, with Intel Matrix option was grayed out.

I did however notice that particular system sometimes bogged down using the old driver and AHCI setting in bios. No more with this baby.
Thanks!

I had the same issue...there may be x64 on station-drivers now, i'm sure closer to P45 release time they'll have x64 support.

I can NOT get the "F6" drivers to load under Vista64. I have it on my USB thumb drive, windows detects it, shows ICH9R RAID driver, I select it, and then a window pops up and says Windows can not install or reconize your hardware. Are these drivers not for Vista64???? If not, where the hell can I download them at.

Yes, those are the ones that I was trying........ Just ended up going to Asus' website and download some old drivers from 10/07:down: They work, but I have old drivers.....

That is very strange, they are working for me in XP x64 as well as Server 2008 x64 (same kernel as Vista SP1 x64).

Can someone tell me if after the F6 installation with the floppy drivers to install windows with raid, when the OS is installed I must install the complete driver version in windows? Is this the correct procedure?
Thanks.

If you use ver 8.0.0.1039 in F6 ... Windows use ver 8.0.0.1039 after install.
05-18-2008, 03:42 AM

Yes I know it :)
But F6 driver are 200KB... windows driver are 12MB.
I don't need to install complete driver for complete functionalities and settings?
I need it only if I must upgrade old windows driver?
Thanks, I have no confidence with Intel drivers.;)

Driver is ~200kb the rest is GUI config tool for RAID (Intel Matrix Storage Manager)
you can test install Intel Matrix Storage Manager after OS install if you not use you can remove the program.
