SATA drivers for the D975BX intel controller?

Hello,

I see the unit came with RAID drivers for the Intel SATA controller as well
as Silicon drivers for the second controller. I know some hardware works
better when using the drivers specifically from the company but the Intel
drivers that came with my system seem to be only if I want to enable as
RAID. I tried installing them while in Windows XP SP2 and it said they
weren't for my system so I guess they only work if you configure it as RAID
(of course I could be wrong). Anyone know what drivers I can use for it
short of the MS drivers?

No need, unless as you mention you've raided your system.

Just make sure your running the latest chipset inf.

Thanks - that is the strange thing. I did install 7.x but then I found 8.x
When I installed 8.x, it claims to have installed but it runs in about 1
second. On top of that I can't uninstall from applications to make sure it
is doing its thing. I've noticed some issues with my SATA optical drive
and they recommend updating the drivers for the SATA controller.

I do not have RAID configured on my system. I don't plan on it but I would
really like the latest drivers for the SATA controller.

Any further advice about the chipset or the SATA would be great!
