[nightanole]

I give up and humble myself before you.

I have a msi g33m.

its got the ICH9/ICH9R Chipset. I want to run xp in sata native mode. Using both the intel site and the msi site f6 disk, xp can not see the hard drive. The f6 disk loads up 4 sata controlers to choose from, none of them will alow xp to see the hard drive. Loading up every sata controller in the f6 list at the same time doesnt work either. I even tryed using a slipped streamed xp disk with the aug intel drivers on there that works with my 945 board, still no go. Any ideas?

On the other hand vista installs no problem with the f6 disk. My last thought was to see which drivers vista uses, write it down, install xp in ide mode, and force xp to use the wrote down driver for hte stock ide driver, then switch to sata native and boot and hope for the best.

LOL if you find out let me know, been making coasters all day slipstreaming with no luck for a different board. I am beginning to think there is something not quite right with the ICH9 (R) is the raid and I bet it would work with that chip but we both have the non-raid. All the chip specs say it will do AHCI but I will be damned if I can get it to work.

Hmm

This looks promising
