You hack was the best. you can use your files on the Win XP installation process (hitting F6) and selescting the now availables 82802HB SATA controller (thanks to you!) and install XP on a native AHCI controlled configuration.

Shame on Intel for no providing the goddamn driver themselves, so irresponsible. But thanks Berdi and fdiv_bug!

I based my purchase on weather year 'round, roads and traffic I'd be dealing with, as well as posted speed limits. Before I ever took my scooter on the road, I took the Basic Motorcycle Rider's Safety Course, and am extremely glad I did: there was a separate insurance policy, on which I received a discount, in addition to a safety apparell discount being applied; best of all, with the BMRSC certificate, I needed to take only the DMV's written test, an easy touch-screen computer exam---the road test was waved because I'd taken the safety course. Be advised, the speed of your scooter is not the deciding factor for how fast you travel to/from work, school, etc: the posted speed limits are THE FASTEST you're ALLOWED to go, not that you HAVE to ride that fast; 'net sites and the safety course will help you decide speed & places to go</p> I looked at several models and visited different dealers before making my purchase, a 2007 125 Kymco Agility.

    Ralf,

    I appreciate what you did very much.

    I have an Asus P5K-VM here, and I was dumbfounded that the bios allowed me the use of AHCI, but Windows wouldn’t recognize my hard drive even after pressing F6 and choosing “ICH9 Desktop/Workstation”.

    I was thinking after I read Berdi’s post, “Oh boy, now I’m going to have to install Windows XP in IDE mode, get the device ID, and do the mod myself for ICH9.

    Your post saved my day, as well as will lengthen my sleep time tonight.

    I have mirrored your file here just in case:

    Good work gentlemen.
