Audio Drivers For Dell Optiplex 780

Since it looks like Windows XP will still be hanging around for at least a few more months, I thought I should share one of the cool tricks that I have found when installing it to theses newer Dell computers that have difference mode SATA controllers. Coming from the factory most PCs will come with Vista on it and be have the SATA controller in AHCI mode. Vista has drivers to use the controller in this mode, however Windows XP doesn’t.

And since most computers don’t ship with a floppy and won’t recognize a flash driver when installing XP your only option is to to make it boot the PC. Well with these newer Dells you have the option to go in to the BIOS and change in what mode the SATA controller operates. You should see options for ATA mode / AHCI mode and RAID mode.

By selecting the ATA mode you can use the drivers already supplied by default on the Windows XP CD, once you get it installed you can use the Windows Device Manager to update the drivers to the AHCI ones. Below are the detailed instructions on how to install the AHCI driver once you have Windows installed by changing the SATA controller to ATA mode.

Download the correct AHCI driver from support.dell.com website. The driver should be called “Intel Matrix Storage Manager (OS Pre-Install Driver Only)” or something close to that. Restart the PC and press F8 repeatedly to boot the computer to Safe Mode. Open up the device manager and locate the current SATA controller (Intel(r) ICH10 Family 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller) it will probably show 2 of them. Right click on the first one and select Update Driver. When the wizard pops up select No, not this time Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) Don’t Search. I will choose the driver Have Disk button.

Browse to the Drivers you downloaded and select the file named iaStor.inf, now uncheck the Show compatible hardware. You should now be presented with a list of drivers, this is where trial and error comes in. You will need to select the correct driver for your chipset. Hey Wayne, thanks for your brilliant advice, I followed what u wrote and i managed to load Windows XP SP3 on my Dell 960. I changed the Bios settings from AHCI to ATA and Installed the XP (without any problems) but now i dont want to install the SATA drivers, and i just wanna leave it on ATA since its running perfectly ok. Tell me is it fine to leave it just the way it is or do i need to install the Sata Drivers. What impact will it make on the performance if i leave it just as it is.

And will it bring the Blue Screen in Future? Great tutorial bro, Installed win xp sp2 running great, but problem arises that every time i switch on my PC(optiplex 755) i have to hit f12 to go to boot menu and select sata drive to startup win XP otherwise it gives an error that no boot drive found. Give me any solution to this problem if u have anysecond thing is that i haven’t installed the sata drivers because my device manager already shows Intel(R) ICH9 2 PORT SERIAL ATA STORAGE CONTORLLER2 and Intel(R) ICH9 4 PORT SERIAL ATA STORAGE CONTORLLER1in this case should i do something or is it ok?Do reply,ASAPTHANks. Clever, but that requires a working machine. I get an error message saying “Installation failed D:I386asms.
