    you have to put them on a floppy and when you instal windows hit F6 during the begining of instalation.

    you can get them off the main gigabyte webiste.

    i downloaded them from gigabyte site and it won't let me format the drive. I instlaled the drivers during installation. I can see the drive but for some reason it won't let me install windows on the drive. im not sure what is wrong.

    Download the Raid Floppy utility from here

    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...4&submit=Go%21

    (AHCI/RAID Drivers are in the same package.). Its the second one in the list.
    Download it then extract with winrar. Double click to let it format and configure the driver on the floppy.

    Make sure your sata cables are plugged into the Intel ports and not the gigabyte ones.

    Go into BIOS to "integrated peripherals" and set to AHCI (on the first line)

    Save and exit

    Whack in the disc and when you get to the "load driver" part put in the floppy and press enter.

    Hi, are you sure your HDD that you intend to use supports NCQ? if not I don't think you can't use AHCI option.
    Every drive I've tried to use AHCI on has failed if it does not support NCQ, whereas all NCQ drives I have used did allow me to set AHCI as the option in BIOS.
    I've tried to confirm this observation, but have never found anything that 100% agrees or disagrees with it.
