Introduction Purpose This white paper provides instructions on how to successfully incorporate SATA drivers into a Windows XP installation on HP Notebook PC models. The following guidelines provide procedures for adding SATA drivers to RIS installation points; adding SATA drivers to installation CDs; building an image and switching to SATA AHCI mode; using Sysprep with SATA in AHCI or NATIVE mode; and adding SATA drivers using WinPE. Audience This white paper is for use by HP personnel and customers.

2) Obtain the SATA Device ID as described in the section “How to Obtain SATA Device IDs” of this document and insert them where [SATA Device ID] is seen below. Add the following section to your c:\sysprep\sysprep.inf file: [SysprepMassStorage] [SATA Device ID] = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iaahci.inf ; [optional description] [SATA Device ID]= %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iastor.inf ; [optional description] Please note that each line to be added starts with PCI\.

2) Unpack all the files from the SoftPaq. Unpacking a Softpaq file uses this command line: • Sp#####.exe -e -f -s • Where o SP####.exe is the Softpaq to unpack. o -e is a run time switch that overrides installation of the component inside the softpaq. o -f is a run time switch that overrides the default path set at build time. o -s instructs the package to unpack in silent mode skipping the welcome, license and directory screens. • Example: C:\tmp\sp99999.exe -e -fc:\sp99999 -s • This will

Adding SATA Drivers to WinPE 2005 Where these guidelines are applicable IMPORTANT: Follow the installation instructions in the order provided. Failure to complete these steps in the proper order can result in an unsuccessful or unstable installation. This section provides guidelines for customers who need to add SATA support to a WinPE ISO or DOK. Steps to add SATA drivers to WinPE 2005 1) Create the WinPE folder (these guidelines will use c:\winpe) 2) Download and save the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager"

6) Copy the other files to the c:\winpe\i386\system32\drivers folder. 7) Open c:\winpe\i386\txtsetup.sif in Notepad. Go to the end of the file. There will be several blank lines 1) Move the cursor up a few lines. This is necessary because there is a hidden marker at the end of the file. 2) Add the following lines to the txtsetup.sif.

Modifying a Windows XP installation to support SATA Native Mode Where these guidelines are applicable IMPORTANT: Follow the installation instructions in the order provided. Failure to complete these steps in the proper order can result in an unsuccessful or unstable installation. This section provides guidelines for customers who have built an image with SATA AHCI Native Mode disabled in F10 Setup, and need to modify the image to support SATA AHCI Native Mode enabled (the default mode).

Only for Compaq 320, Compaq 321, Compaq 420, Compaq 421, Compaq 620, Compaq 621, HP 420 and HP 620: 5) Download and run the “Intel Chipset Installation Utility” for your particular model from www.hp.com. 6) In Device Manager, expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Select the Intel(R) ICH9M/M-E 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 1, and then right click and select ‘Update Driver’. If more than one Serial ATA Storage Controller is listed this process only needs to be done once.

6) Open a blank text file in notepad and input the following: a. For XP 32-bit: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatab ase\pci#ven_1002&cc_0106] "Service"="ahcix86" "ClassGUID"="{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ahcix86] "Type"=dword:00000001 "Start"=dword:00000000 "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "Tag"=dword:00000021 "ImagePath"="system32\\drivers\\ahcix86.sys" "Group"="SCSI Miniport" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYS

9) Reboot the computer and enter F10 setup during the boot. Go to System Configuration/Device Configurations/SATA Device Mode and change it to AHCI, then save settings and exit F10 Setup 10) After windows boots back to desktop, open Device Manager, expand the SCSI and RAID controllers, and select the device that is listed. Right-Click it and go to Update Driver. a. At the first dialog, select ‘No, not this time’ when prompted to connect to Windows Update. b.

6) In the device property window, select the Details tab and choose “Hardware Ids” from the drop-down menu as seen in the screenshot below. The Device ID needed from the list is the one with the simple Class Code Hardware ID (identified with a “CC” string in the name). In the example below, the Device ID needed is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2929&CC_0106.

Steps to obtain the SATA Device ID from a Windows Vista image 1) Begin by taking a Windows Vista system with the HP image already on it. Turn on the system and boot into the Operating System. 2) Once the Operating System is loaded, select the Start Button and type the following command: devmgmt.msc Pressing the Enter key after typing the above command will launch the Device Manager console. Refer to the screenshot below for this step.
