    Nvidia AHCI Hell

    these people had one of the worse viruses infections on thier old install, combofix, tdss killer, bitdefender rescue cd could not get rid of this shit so I decided to do a fresh install, and I want to use something other then generic IDE. something iv'e done many many many times before on many different boards. Even some new laptops that 'offically' has dropped support for XP altogether, even though the chipset manufacturer has not. This is achieved with an awesome slipstreamed disk I created with every storage controller driver known to man. I've even isntalled XP on NAS raid systems that were really 'proprietary linux only'...through the use of driver inf manipulation I slipstreamed into xp pro copies

    Now i'm having the toughest time getting xp installed on an Asus M2N68-VM with AHCI or RAID enabled

    I've tried a old true and tried slipstream disk, a different slipstream disk, floppies with the TXTSETUP.OEM way, using multiple differnet MCP 61, 78, boot drives, and it still BSOD's 7b (no bootable drive controller) each time. I updated the bios, hopefully thinking it was a unnoted hardware id string fix on asus part, but still nothing

    edit: oh yeah just to make sure it wasn't something with the drive itself, I hooked another sata drive and same thing, both were full formatted anyways

    I'm thinking of putting a win7 install on there just to see if even if it has a driver, maybe I can get the hardware string and do what I do best. Or maybe this has a hardware issue with nvidia AHCI/RAID on this one motherboard?

    sure I could enable generic ide/dma, but that would be too easy

    Use StorageDrivers 11.10 (I think that's the latest) with the latest DriverPack integrator to make your install CD. Always works great for me. No more meddling with setup or inf files anymore.

Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

      STOP: 0x0000007B
      That reply from Windows 99 percent means you have wrong or bad ATA driver. Sorry.

      But, selecting the wrong driver usually results in text mode setup refusing to even let you format the HDD, thus, usually won't even get far enough to give you the dreaded "STOP: 0x0000007B" BSOD.

        yes I know 7B, very well. I've tried using a txtsetup.oem driver straight from asus (3 actually, 3 different versions). Getting the latest from nvidia too. Also setting it to raid, setting up a simple raid 0 array with one hard drive (yes, you can do that, it literally wont' stripe, but will put the controller in raid mode). Used multiple nvidia raid drivers, mcp 61, 78, still 7b

          well this is disturbing. I just switched it to AHCI, installed win7, and win7 puts the driver as a generic AHCI 1.0 driver. I force loaded the nvidia one, and now it refuses to boot. It looks like asus refused to use nvidia mcp chip as the ahci storage controller, or made some generic bullshit ahci code and maybe offloaded it on the mcp, or cpu

            Use Fernandos drivers... Start with the default Fernando. If everything is ok, move to the Performance Pack.

              hah, just fixed it, sort of. I noticed in win7 when I had raid enabled, windows had the nvidia ata driver AND the raid driver both

              I used F6 and specified adding both from the floppy, and it seems to work on raid mode. too bad nobody makes a generic ahci driver for xp

                A JMicron JMB363 card makes switching to RAID or AHCI easy because JMicron duplicates the CHS values of the motherboard chip makers.

                Install to the hard drive in non RAID mode. Boot with the JMB363 card in with no drive connected. Install the JMB363 driver. Reboot with the boot drive connected to the JMB363. Boot and install drivers for all available RAID and AHCI modes. Reconnect the drive to the original RAID controller and migrate to RAID.

                Now you can boot in any mode you like.

                Unlike other instructions on the Internet that barely work for the posted chipsets, this method works for everything that doesn't use FUBAR CHS values.
