If I select AHCI in the BIOS for the SATA drive, the system won't
boot. It only works if set to IDE. I think the reason is because I
didn't install the Intel Matrix or RAID drivers when setting up XP
via F6. Is there a way to install them after the OS is already
installed (I
tried F6 when the system boots, but it isn't recognized)?




RobV,

I have no idea if this works but you can read and try this method if
you like. I can't give you any guarantees so do so at your own risk.

If it works I would then update to the latest drivers from Intel.

Thanks for the link, Tim. I'll read through it and may give it a try.
