Introduction

Purpose

This white paper provides instructions on how to successfully incorporate SATA drivers into a Windows XP installation on HP Compaq 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.

Benefits of SATA

SATA Native Mode is a storage interface technology that provides up to 150MB/Sec transfer rate for disk traffic, and provides link power management with Intel® Application Accelerator drivers. Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver provides support for the SATA Advanced Host Controller (AHCI) Interface.

System Requirements and Prerequisites

System requirements

Information regarding minimum hardware requirements for installing XP Professional is available at

www.microsoft.com.

The following are the supported models for the subject of this white paper:

HP Compaq 6310, 6320 and 6330 Notebook PC models

HP Compaq 9420 and 9440 Notebook PC models

HP Compaq 6400 Notebook PC models

HP Compaq 7400 Notebook PC models

HP Compaq 4400 Notebook PC models

HP Compaq 8400 Notebook PC models

System prerequisites

You will need the following items before installing SATA drivers:

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, Certificate of Authenticity and documentation.

• Necessary drivers, especially Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver (SP32478).

• Proper OS License for each PC

• 1.44 MB Floppy Disk and USB floppy drive. For a list of USB floppy drives supported during

Windows XP installation, please see Microsoft knowledge base article 916196.

o The floppy disk is normally required by the Intel SATA ACHI Controller Driver softpaq

to create an installation disk.

o The softpaq creates a WinImage self-extractor file that is written to

C:\swsetup\SP32478. Some third-party utilities can extract the drivers from this file without requiring a floppy drive.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure you have the latest compatible version of Microsoft Windows XP drivers and enhancements. In addition, you must have a Microsoft OS license for each system on which you install Windows XP Professional.

Note:

You can also download HP drivers and utilities, including the most current available ROM for the platform, from the HP website

www.hp.com.

Transitioning a Sysprep image from IDE to SATA

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 sysprep image. Sysprep images with no SATA support will display a blue screen and reboot very quickly in an infinite loop. Adding SATA drivers to the image will allow XP to access the disk and finish booting.

Note:

PCI IDs for current HP desktop and workstation Intel SATA controllers are included in step 5. Although this whitepaper is intended to cover HP Compaq Notebook PCs, this section should also be applicable to HP Compaq desktop and workstation PCs.

Steps to add SATA support to the original image

1) Download the Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver, SoftPaq SP32478.exe, from www.hp.com.

2) Extract all the files from the SoftPaq. A USB floppy is necessary for this step. Run sp32478;

this will create a floppy disk. The files will be located on this floppy.

3) These files should be located on the floppy disk. a. iaahci.cat b. iaahci.inf c. iastor.cat d. iastor.inf e. iastor.sys f. license.txt g. readme.txt h. txtsetup.oem

4) On the system you intend to Sysprep, add the first 5 files (a through e, from above)

to the PnP drivers store (example: c:\drivers\sata).

5) Add the following section to your c:\sysprep\sysprep.inf file:

[SysprepMassStorage] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iaahci.inf ; Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iaahci.inf ; Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iaahci.inf ; Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iaahci.inf ; Intel(R) 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iastor.inf ; Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&CC_0104 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iastor.inf ; Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH5R)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0&CC_0104 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iastor.inf ; Intel(R) 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iastor.inf ; Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)

Please note that each line to be added starts with PCI\. These lines are continued over to a second row in this paper due to space limitations.

6) Add or edit the following section of sysprep.inf to add the SATA drivers to the PnP

drivers path.

[Unattended] OemSkipEula=Yes OemPnPDriversPath=drivers\sata;<your driver list will come here> ConfirmHardware=No OverwriteOemFilesOnupgrade=No DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore oempreinstall=yes updateInstalledDrivers=Yes

At this point, the Windows installation is ready for deployment. Run Sysprep on the updated

OS, capture an image, and deploy the image to systems using SATA hardware set to the default AHCI SATA Native mode.

Adding SATA drivers to RIS Installation Points

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 Remote Installation Service distribution point.
