2. New operating system installation. A fresh installation of Windows XP or Vista, while in AHCI mode, is the most straightforward way to install the AHCI driver. Windows XP requires addition of the Intel AHCI driver with the F6 option during installation. Windows Vista has native AHCI support so either the native AHCI driver is used or the Intel AHCI driver can be added. 3. Enhancing existing Windows XP images from IDE mode. Corporate IT may be able to update an existing Windows XP image that was created in IDE mode to be AHCI compatible. The process requires insertion of the AHCI drivers into the image in a preinstallation environment. Thereafter, the system can be safely switched to AHCI mode. Software required to insert AHCI driver is as follows: • Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) CD • Windows OPK (OEM Preinstallation Kit) CD - MSDINST.EXE (Mass Storage Device Installer) The OPK CD is not available for general download. It must be obtained through a Microsoft authorized distributor. MSDINST.EXE is a tool designed to insert mass storage drivers into an offline Microsoft Windows XP image. For more information and instructions on OPK or MSDINST.EXE go to http://www.microsoft.com. The process is as follows: a. Boot into WinPE. b. Run MSDINST.EXE from OPK. MSDINST.EXE is executed from a command line where the location for the .inf file containing the PnP ID of the RAID/AHCI SATA controller of the target system and location of the Windows directory are specified. For example: Newmsd.inf has the PnP IDs and is in the C:\AddAHCI directory. C:\Windows is the location of the Windows directory. msdinst.exe c:\AddAHCI\newmsd.inf c:\windows /force Newmsd.inf contents: [SysprepMassStorage] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = C:\AddAHCI\iastor.inf PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3A02&CC_0106 = C:\AddAHCI\iaahci.inf Dev 2822 is the Device ID for Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO SATA RAID Controller. Dev 3A02 is the Device ID for Intel(R) ICH10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller. c. Reboot the system. d. Enter F10 Setup and change SATA Emulation mode to AHCI. e. Reboot the system into Windows XP. 6

New operating system installation.
A fresh installation of Windows XP or Vista, while in AHCI mode, is the most straightforward way to
install the AHCI driver.
Windows XP requires addition of the Intel AHCI driver with the F6 option during installation.
Windows Vista has native AHCI support so either the native AHCI driver is used or the Intel AHCI
driver can be added.
3.
Enhancing existing Windows XP images from IDE mode.
Corporate IT may be able to update an existing Windows XP image that was created in IDE mode to
be AHCI compatible. The process requires insertion of the AHCI drivers into the image in a pre-
installation environment. Thereafter, the system can be safely switched to AHCI mode.
Software required to insert AHCI driver is as follows:
•
Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) CD
•
Windows OPK (OEM Preinstallation Kit) CD
- MSDINST.EXE (Mass Storage Device Installer)
The OPK CD is not available for general download. It must be obtained through a Microsoft
authorized distributor. MSDINST.EXE is a tool designed to insert mass storage drivers into an offline
Microsoft Windows XP image.
For more information and instructions on OPK or MSDINST.EXE go to
.
The process is as follows:
a.
Boot into WinPE.
b.
Run MSDINST.EXE from OPK.
MSDINST.EXE is executed from a command line where the location for the .inf file containing the
PnP ID of the RAID/AHCI SATA controller of the target system and location of the Windows direc-
tory are specified.
For example: Newmsd.inf has the PnP IDs and is in the C:\AddAHCI directory. C:\Windows is
the location of the Windows directory.
msdinst.exe c:\AddAHCI\newmsd.inf c:\windows /force
Newmsd.inf contents:
[SysprepMassStorage]
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = C:\AddAHCI\iastor.inf
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3A02&CC_0106 = C:\AddAHCI\iaahci.inf
Dev 2822 is the Device ID for Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO SATA RAID Controller.
Dev 3A02 is the Device ID for Intel(R) ICH10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller.
c.
Reboot the system.
d.
Enter F10 Setup and change SATA Emulation mode to AHCI.
e.
Reboot the system into Windows XP.
