How to inject SATA drivers (AHCI) after XP installation.

After installing XP Pro with BIOS Native IDE mode, you can add SATA drivers and switch back to AHCI mode with bellow steps

1) Copy bellow text to a notepad and change the file extension as ".reg" . Run it to change the registry entries.

2)Download Intel Matrix Storage Manager-Package for your make and model and extract its files by running using the following switches "-a –a"

3) Copy "iastor.sys " from freshly extracted folder to %Windows%\System32\Drivers\

4) Rrestart your computer, enter the BIOS and switch back to Advanced, AHCI-mode.

5) Save, exit and load Windows XP from your HD (it should now start properly).

6) When XP goes for the SATA driver-installation procedure, stop it and run Matrix Storage Manage setup from the previously extracted folder to complete the SATA installation

7) Restart your system.

Done
