intel ich9 slipstream driver needed
Hey all,
I tried following a guide found here to slipstream drivers into my xp install in order to install xp on my acer aspire 5735 laptop. I was getting an error pci.sys but got past it by slipstreaming sp2 onto my disk using nlite. Once I tried the new disk I got an error "STOP: 0x0000007B" when I did a google search for the error I came across a site that explained that this is the most common blue screen of death error in windows and is caused by windows having trouble with the boot device due to hardware being broken, driver issues, or a bootsector virus. I don't think I have broken hardware or a virus so I am assuming the SATA driver I downloaded from this site were not sufficient.
The driver listed in vista is Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Under system devices it lists the chipset as Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Series. I am assuming they left the 9 off and that it is a 945 chipset. I found the correct driver on intel's website but it is a PNP driver and I don't know how to make a textmode driver.
Of course I could be way off base about this whole issue.
If any of you geniuses out there can help me all your wildest dreams will come true
j/k.
Please help!

Floppy installer disk for F6 or slipstreaming...
Here is the general link for the Mobile 4 Series...

If you have a floppy or a USB floppy life is easy, I've never tried slipstreaming drivers, but there should be enough howtos out there...
You could also disable AHCI in the bios and put the SATA port in IDE mode, then the driver would not be needed at boot time...
Performance difference is moot on a notebook. If you need HotPlug or NCQ you'll have to leave it on...
Good Luck!
Follow the chart on this page: here
Once again... any help would be great.

-P.S. adding sp2 to my winxp pro install fixed the pci.sys error and changing the SATA controller to IDE fixed my driver issue. --thanks for the help
The Satellite Dish Button should turn your wireless off and on as well as Fn +Speaker ))) / Speaker ) should turn your volume up or down. You wont get the on screen display of these functions without the Launch Manager Software loaded.
Here is a link from acer LaunchMgr_Dritek_v.2.0.04_XPx86.zip
