Windows 7 and Vista will usually recognize a SATA motherboard controller. SATA add-on cards will more than likely prompt for a driver. The SATA controller driver can usually be found on the CD or website of the system, motherboard or SATA controller card manufacturer. If the SATA hard drive is not showing then click the Load Driver option.
My computer is a Dell T3600 with RAID capability, even though I have only one hard drive. The hard drive is connected to the 'HDD0' port, which is used with RAID. The DVD-R/W drive is connected to the 'SATA0' port.

- HP Pavilion dv7-6110sl HDD driver for Windows 7 SP1 X64 bit 09:12 PM - last edited on 03:10 PM by OscarFuentes If you can still boot into original HP installed Windows 7, check Device Manager for the id of the SATA controller to be sure you are selecting the correct one under iaAHCI.inf file.
At first, I could not upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10, because Win 10 could not see the HDD0 port. I asked Dell support. They said to connect the hard drive to the SATA0 port, and the DVD drive to the SATA1 port. Windows 7 took that in stride, after a reboot due to the hardware change. I was able to upgrade to Win 10.
Now I wanted to move the drive back to the HDD0 port. I was able to do so after getting a link for a driver from Dell. In Win 10's Device Manager, the RAID controller was shown without a driver, which I installed after downloading it from the Dell link. So, after accomplishing that, my hard drive is back on the HDD0 port, and the DVD drive is back on the SATA0 port.
Hard Drive Controller Driver
Now - here is my issue. When the hard drive was on the SATA0 port, the boot sequence was Dell BIOS screen, black screen, black screen with Windows logo, black screen, gray-green screen, login screen. With the hard drive on the HDD0 port, the boot sequence is Dell BIOS screen, black screen, black screen with Windows logo, black screen, black screen with Windows logo, black screen, gray-green screen, login screen. It appears that Windows is testing, and waiting for a timeout on, the SATA0 port before trying the HDD0 port, where it succeeds. I tried disabling the SATA port by removing its driver in Device Manager, then disabling the port in the Dell BIOS. The delay still happens.

How can I get Windows to go direct to the HDD0 port to boot, and to skip the SATA port? Dell Support has told me, in effect, 'that's the way it works', because they don't understand Windows enough.

Hdd Controller Driver
Dear All,
I want to install Windows XP SP2 on my Seagate Barracuda 80 GB SATA Hard Disk (ST380811AS).
My mother board is Gigabyte 81865GMe-775-RH.
My hard disk is being detected by BIOS as got from the information displayed while the PC boots (LBA, SATA, 80 GB).
It is on IDE Channel 0 Slave and my LG DVD Writer is on IDE Channel 1 Master.
Now i tried to install Windows XP on it, but the HDD is not being detected by Windows XP SP2.
Then, I came to know from Internet that i have to supply the SATA Controller drivers to Windows XP in the installation process. This i have to search on Motherboard CD or from Internet.
The readme.txt from the MB CD contains the following information(extracted):
.............................................................................
7) BootDrv
If you want installing driver during new Windows OS
to RAID/SCSI/Serial ATA SIDE.Please insert empty disk to floppy
and run '..BootDrvmenu.exe' under DOS mode environment for get
driver.
.............................................................................
Is this the right exe that i have to execute to extract driver files?
Upon running this utility, i got the menu choice:
E:BootDrv>menu
1)IAA_RAID
2)GIGARAID
3)SiIBASE
4)SiIRAID
5)SCSI
6)Promise 20276 ATA
7)Promise 20276 RAID
Promise 20265 ATA
9)Promise 20265 ATA(XP)
A)Promise 20265 RAID
B)Promise 20265 RAID(XP)
C)VIA 8237 Series ATA
D)Si3114 Base
E)Si3114 Raid
F)SCSI HostRaid
G)Hance Rapids Raid
0)exit
I dont know which option do i choose so that i can create a floppy for my Seagate SATA HDD?
Do anybody have idea?
I searched Internet and i got information on seagate.com about many of the sites of SATA controllers. One of the link is:
http://www.siig.com/driver.asp?catid=80&pid=467
I have downloaded
ftp://www.siig.com/sc-sat212_win98-XP_v10047.exe file from the site.
Is it useful driver file for my Seagate SATA HDD?
Any other suitable download links are most welcome.
Please help me ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
