630i MCP73 7150 Sata driver, Looking for non AHCI Sata Drive

[bladexp]

Just finished loading XP useing Windows default IDE drivers. Tried to update the Default Standard Dual PCI IDE controller to the Nvidia SATA driver but won't install. If you manually force them then you get a BSOD on reboot. Seems the only SATA driver availible for the 630i, MCP73, 7150 or whatever you want to call this chipset/motherboard are the AHCI Drivers. What is odd is if you load the 410/430 or the MCP61 SATA drivers the system boots fine. I can't believe Nvidia is going to force us to use AHCI drivers to load XP. I need some non AHCI Drivers. Seems the AHCI driver is nvgts.sys where as the standard Nvidia SATA drvier is nvata.sys

The driver you want is nvrd32.inf(or something like this) and it's avaliable on this topic

This driver has options for ahci and non-ahci.

Not sure where in that thread it talks or show a non AHCI driver for the MCP73 chip set. could you point to the specific post. As Fernando posted this

You are right. Here is the list of the available MCP73 S-ATA Controllers:
Code:
DEV_07F0=”pciide” nForce 630i/610i MCP73 S-ATA (IDE mode) Controller
DEV_07F4=”nvgts” nForce 630i/610i MCP73 AHCI 1 Controller
DEV_07F5=”nvgts” nForce 630i/610i MCP73 AHCI 2 Controller
DEV_07F6=”nvgts” nForce 630i/610i MCP73 AHCI 3 Controller
DEV_07F7=”nvgts” nForce 630i/610i MCP73 AHCI 4 Controller
So if you want a S-ATA driver,which doesn't support AHCI, you have to take the MS Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller drivers.
