    I got Windows XP. And I changed the Harddisk to IDI or IDE?
    Well I would like to change it back to SATA/AHCI now but I need to update my drivers on Windows XP first.

    Any idea what I could do?

    thanks a lot

    I read that the Intel Matrix Storage thing would install it for me.
    But it just says that I dont meet the System Requirements.

    Any ideas?

    cheers

    Anyone?

    I would like to try AHCI on Windows XP. I heard there would be quite an improvement using AHCI.
