SATA Driver

[Alex8525]

I have recently upgraded to windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit from windows Vista. I have disabled SATA controller in the BIOS because it was not recognizing hard disk. I have attached screenshot of my motherboard specification. Can anyone suggest from where I can download, install SATA driveres?

And also how can i check my all drivers are up to date or not? I am using default drivers now.

Thanks,
Alex

Try here:

HP Support & Drivers

If no drivers on HP web site, we will need now what SATA controller you have.

Sata drivers here:

How can I install this without floppy?

 

[stormy13]

This one,

INF Update Utility - Primarily for Intel® 5, 4, 3, 900 Series Chipsets

As for installing without a floppy, that isn't a problem Windows 7 (and Vista as well) is more than capable of installing the driver from a USB stick, memory card, or even off of another partition or hard drive,

#8, just point it to whatever device has the appropriate INF file(s) on it.

Download drivers from here: (x32 or x64)

32-bit Floppy Configuration Utility

64-bit Floppy Configuration Utility


Unzip & copy files to USB stick.

Means I need to install Windows 7 again?

 

[stormy13]

Shouldn't have to, you should be able to just run the update utility and it will update any of the motherboard/chipset drivers that need it.

HI stormy13

BIOS has been set to IDE.

This may or not work.

1) Reset BIOS back to AHCI.

2) do a startup repair. (may need to do 3 to 4 times)

if you get to Picture 1, keep going.

if you get to picture 2, load drivers for SATA.

Thanks for replies.

I will try it tonight. But do I need drivers on other CD/DVD/Floppy drive?

I don't have a floppy drive.

Thanks

You can put your drivers on Floppy, CD, or USB stick.
