I apparently misunderstood what you said in your previous post.
I was assuming you had installed a M.2 PCIe NVMe solid state drive and then couldn't get one or more of the SATA ports to work.
I was going to ask you if you had installed the Intel chipset drivers for Windows 7 64-bit.
However, I discovered your motherboard doesn't have drivers for that operating system.
I'll leave you with the others here to hopefully resolve your issue.
Good luck.
Is the media ready for HP 800 G3/Intel HD Graphics 530?
or Intel HD Graphics 530 driver needs being integrated first before Windows 7 install.
I tried the media on the HP, got black screen before "install now". could see mouse cursor moving on the black screen. hence, I stopped, thought the media might need adding Intel HD Graphics 530 driver.
Thanks,
I've made some progress. I disabled "map SATA controller under VMD" in the bios and the SATA ports became visible. I still can't install any driver for the RAID controller. The hardware ID is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_467F&SUBSYS_86941013. Anyone have any ideas on a driver for it?
The best I can do at this point is to setup a RAID 1 under Windows disk management. When I boot up Win10, I have to import the disks in disk management to use them. And have to do the same thing when booting back to Win7.
I ran the process to update my Win 7 SP1 in posts 529 and 530 using the folder provided in post 1 (7UPx64I). I had to extract the ISO used to install Win 7 and it went through the whole process although the screens and questions varied significantly in some cases from the images provided. At the end, it said the process was successful. I assume that I have to burn an ISO to disc (as before) and boot it to install the updated version. However, where is that file? In the Extracted ISO folder, all the files show the 2010 date and there's no ISO within the folder. The original ISO also shows the original date and the size hasn't changed.
Edit: Well, I think I found the problem with the dates. The time/date is set to synchronize with a internet location. However, I'm having problems with being able to acess websites on the internet. As a result, the time of the system is (was) set to 2010.
Now, how do I procede to implement the update process?

It is normal.
the install.wim and boot.wim will be larger than the original.
you could create an iso if you wish using ISO-CREATE.cmd
it wont fit on a single regular dvd. That is why there is SPLIT-WIM-TO-2-ISOS.cmd which creates 2 iso files, which you can burn to 2 regular dvds.
it creates 2 iso filesburn each iso to a dvd.
Then boot DVD1 and setup will prompt to insert the second dvd when it wants it.

Most people prefer to use usb stick.
The simple way is to format a usb stick to fat32 with windows disk management or any decent 3rd party partition manager, and mark the partition active.
Then copy the contents of EXTRACTED-ISO folder onto the usb stick.
Install.wim will be larger than the fat32 filesize limit.
That is why there is WIM-SPLIT.cmd, so install.wim can split before copying to usb stick.

Thanks SIW2- I thought I would need all those folders but wasn't quite sure. I'll be burning to disc since I often transfer files from one system to the other using the couple of USB sticks I have (Too tight to buy another. LOL). I'll let you know how it comes out.
SIW2
Does your program modify two *.wim files (install.wim and boot.wim) only. while other files stay intact?
If so, every time I prepare a USB stick, can I skip format procedure, just copy the two *.wim files into source folder of existing USB stick. (for 1st time, it's requested to format USB stick. but later after that, no need to re-do)
only the install.wim is split.
yescan I skip format procedure, just copy the two *.wim files into source folder of existing USB stick. (for 1st time, it's requested to format USB stick. but later after that, no need to re-do)
or you could also copy the contents of this iso onto your usb stick so you have the fancy boot.wim and the programs in the Uprograms folder in your installation media
17514x64v30.iso
copy the highlighted folders and files onto your installation usb stick. When is asks if you want to overwrite boot.wim on the usb stick say yes.
Thanks,
the procedure is clearer. can save some format.
Okay SIW2- I followed your instructions and burned two discs. I inserted the first one and rebooted. After it said Windows files were being loaded, it went to the Desktop. The only thing it did was provide a PEMENU (C) SIW2 2020 image with a bunch of choices. That's was just sitting on the screen and nothing else happening. It never asked for the second disc. I think the problem might be that when I created the ISO, I saved it on my hard drive in a folder not associated with the 7UP........ folder. When I ran the splitter, it wouldn't recognize that image. Do I need to move it to the Extracted.............iso folder? Strange thing is that all the files it generated start with 7601.
