Re: Fast fix for HP 8540p in XP? =)

I use a WD 320GB passport USB2.0.  It works fine in IDE mode and on previous laptops in AHCI mode.  I boot up into barts on the HDD and ghost with it.

Do you use USB3.0 or USB2.0 connector at HP 8540p?
Do you use the same USB connetor at IDE and AHCI mode?
No Windows does provide USB3.0 drivers out of the box.

Well I think the Intel RST 9.??6.??0.??1014 that supports your HWID is broken.  I've been playing with the new RST 10.0.0.1046 with great success.

Thanks for the hint.
I got a BSOD 0x7e at non Intel hardware at IDE mode with Intel RST 9.*.
RST 10.0.0.1046 does work fine again, no BSOD 0x7e at IDE mode.

I lost my 8540 test machine, had to deploy it, now on a 2540 but they have the same HWID far as I can tell.  I've tried all the ports to boot into AHCI mode, currently just did a test build with ONLY the RST10.~.46 and it still gets a 07B on all ports.  Not sure if that's helpful at all.  Guess I'll have to wait for a new nightly and see what happens?  Speaking of... how do I obtain said nightlies?

Thanks
Chris

HP offers Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver 8.9.6.1002
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/Te … nvOID=1093
Can you try this driver?

And for testing purposes: try a boot CD.
BSOD 0x7B may relate to USB booting too.

the nightly didn't seem to work running from a hard drive.  I don't have a chance to boot from CD yet, but I will post back as soon as I try
