Windows 7 on Latitude E6400

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I kept the folder, but somehow the device manager can't find a suiting driver in that folder. Which folder contains the driver? (R******?)

 

R182340, most likely.

What I do is just point it to the Dell\Drivers folder and let it do search in subfolders.

 

Sounds like you might be installing Win7 and then just installing drivers for devices that remain un-installed? When I installed Vista, Dell prescribed the driver install order in my clean install link below... up to a point. The order becomes less critical as you go down the list, particularly after the DCP stuff. Maybe this is a factor.

Yep!
Okay, I'll look into it, thanks. At Anvil: I don't have that folder in my directory, surprisingly. Which driver is this? (So that I can download it from the Dell Support page)

 

The Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver 12/4/08 8.7.0.1007 (ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID controller) may be it (on dell.com under SATA drives). Vista installs a driver so no drive controller device is left 'uninstalled' in device manager, so maybe you did not see the need for this. This driver will extract but not auto install. You must update the sata controller device driver in Device Manager by browsing to the extract folder.

Once installed, the device will list 'ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID controller', and may then affect your initial device concern.

Dell was specific about device driver order at the top of my list, but who knows.

It is located under Dell\Drivers\storage

I have the following in the storage folder
- R182340 (Chip Set:Intel Mobile Chipset Driver, eg ich9smb)
- R188776 (Ricoh files)
- R190230 (Serial ATA:Intel Matrix Storage Manager - Notebooks Driver)
- R192786 (Chip Set:Intel AMT HECI Driver)
- R192787 (Chip Set:Intel AMT SOL/ LMS Driver)

You could try the following link for the chipset files

Windows 7 installs the Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller automatically. (at least when IRRT is enabled)

 

That one is already installed / listed in the device manager. So this can't be the case. :/

 

Thank you, it was the Intel Mobile Chipset driver! I had to install it manually, setup didn't work. The SM BUS Controller changed to Intel blabla
Thanks again!

 

OK, I've learned Win7 installs it. Vista did not. Looks like you found the culprit though.
