[rant] What a PITA. This Intel DQ965GF board, purchased 4/07, didn't come with any floppy disk (or files) despite the fact WinXP is still the most common OS. No problem, if their website responds to an obvious "DQ965 floppy drivers" query, but of course it doesn't.
At the time I simply kicked the bios to emulate EIDE, then forgot about it. But darnit, now I'd like very much to kick these drives to AHCI (SATA) mode. But, a year later, I still can't find the right files at Intel! I think there should be a law. If you're going to sell a motherboard with SATA, and if WinXP still doesn't support SATA without a floppy, then dammit, pack a floppy with your board! [/rant] PS My existing Vista wouldn't change to new SATA drivers either, throwing a 7B blue screen. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
