E420 - SATA driver for Windows XP

Hello

I installed Windows XP x 64 on my Thinkpad E420 a few months ago.  Get the operating system to work with 64-bit drivers was a major pain, but I finally got it to work.

Yesterday, as XP x 64 became slower and slower, I uninstalled and installed the 32 bit instead (being fully aware that I won't be able to use my 8 GB, only 2.8.  Will not not to do a lot of school work on XP anyway).

I was hoping that I would have finally managed to install the SATA driver, but no.

It's quite annoying to start the BIOS and change the drive mode from AHCI to compatibility every time I start Windows XP (and the reverse for Windows 7, too).

First, I installed the chipset driver Intel here:

Then the video driver and tried to install the AHCI support problematic:

    c.choose "AHCI" mode, and press F10 to save and exit.

I can't use a floppy drive, and the main problem is that I did not "Standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller" in my device manager.  Only this (sorry for the French):

I tried selecting the first choice (primary IDE channel), but I get a BSOD.

What should I choose, instead?  I'm doing something wrong?

Thank you very much!

I have it!

It was actually very simple to install, in fact.

I reinstalled the operating system, and what is important, it is necessary to install the SATA driver immediately after installing Windows XP.

The problem is that I installed the Intel chipset driver first...  Of course, that has caused the problem.  The SATA driver must be the first driver to install.

Simple as that!

  • Intel ID1E5D sata driver for Windows XP (for HP 650)

    Hi all

    We have a 650 HP with Windows8 installed on it. We would like to install windows XP on this machine, however get a BSOD (0x0000007B, 0xF78D2524)

    After a little research, I realized that because drivers SATA on the laptop is not available for XP - if understood.

    To change between IDE and AHCI in the BIOS, is not available.

    I have used CPU - Z that tells me that the manufacture is Intel Sandybridge and model: ID1E5D

    I have searched this site google/intel driver, but have had no luck. Could someone point me in the right direction if I use nLite to add the driver for installation? Still exist?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello:

    Yes, the driver is indeed...

    You can find it on the link below.  I want all drivers, wake so your drive will work on several PC.

    The second file listed is for XP 32 bit. Ignore the description of the motherboard.  Drivers for laptop and desktop are provided.

    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21407&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20XP%20Professional * & DownloadType=.

    The best way to know which AHCI driver you need is just go to Device Manager and click to expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section and you will find the name of the driver you need.

    If I'm not mistaken, you should see the Intel (r) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller.

    You can find this driver listed in the iaAHCI.inf file in the download above.

    I want to change my OS from VISTA (32 bit) to Windows 7 (64-bit), I'm on downloading all the drivers needed for the proper functioning of my laptop in the future.

    When the choice of my laptop (Qosmio F50 - 10 M) and operating system (Windows7 - 64 bit) there is no more infrared driver (for my remote).

    Do I need to have a driver for the infrared interface (which I have and is downloadable with VISTA32)?
    If Yes, where can I get it?

    Thank you very much for the help!

    Kind regards
    starmind

    Hi Starmind_1,

    I n t have remote to test my Qosmio F50 so that I can t but if there is no driver for Windows 7, I guess that the 64 bit Vista driver should work fine on Windows 7. In addition most Vista drivers also work on Windows 7 so it s worth a try! :)

    But from my own experience, I can say that Windows 7 64 bit works like a charm on Qosmio F50 and in my opinion better than Vista. I used all the drivers from the official website of Toshiba and don t have problems.
    Everything works great! :)

    You can add the printer as follows: go to the folder, devices and printers, adding a printer, add a local printer, create a new Port, the Local Port, the \\XPcomputername\DJ5150sharename (use the sharing of correct XP computer and Deskjet 5150 share names), then Windows Update, and then select the HP Deskjet 5150.
