Windows XP SATA AHCI Drivers Names and Download Locations

by getdeclue on October 10, 2012

If you are still using Windows XP as your standard operating system and want to take advantage of the features of AHCI such as Native Command Queuing. The problem exists that many of the driver files contain drivers for several different controllers. Finding and then selecting the correct SATA driver can be difficult. As I encounter different computer models I will document the controller name and download links as I find them.

HP Compaq 8710p –  Intel ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI – Download Link

HP Compaq 6510b –  Intel ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI – Download Link

HP Probook 6540b – Intel 5 Series 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller – Download Link

HP Probook 6530b – Intel ICH9M/M-E Family 4 Port SATA AHCI – Download Link

 

These drivers assist with replacing the drivers on those systems in which you can disable the sata native mode and install windows and then replace the driver. They may not necessarily help with slip streaming the driver as I have found and it is documented that not every driver works when you slipstream it.
