    use chastity's driver reference link

    you can get anything here (even the DVD driver for your g73)

    Anyway,
    The specific driver you are looking for should be listed in that page under CORE driver packages, and should be this one

    it is the controller who menage the hard drivers, It should be the link I gave you before in the previous post, it is also called SATA

    From Chastity's page
    Core Drivers:
    Intel Chipset INF for Series 5 v9.2.0.1025 (this version was compiled as a self-installer that does a full install. Just use default settings and let her run.)
    Intel RST SATA Drivers 10.1.0.1008
    Intel Management Engine Components (I prefer to use the Microsoft Drivers, since I do not use this for anything)
    Intel TurboBoost Technology Monitor (2.0) & Driver : Use the version on the Driver Disc through the Asus Installer Application. Only known way of installing the driver portion. Web download versions reports error on installation.
