ICH10 ICH10R difference?

Hyperian · Mar 20, 2009

Ok there is another thread here about ICH10 driver for EP45 mobo from gigabyte. but driver that was linked there was ICH10R and not ICH10.

the mobo i have is the EP43-UD3L and i was wondering if i could use ICH10R driver or is the ICH10 driver somewhere?

I have been trying to install XP but i keep getting BSOD because it's missing the driver while it is loading the xp disk.

What I'd recommend is download this driver:

http://america.giga-byte.com/FileList/Driver/motherboard_driver_chipset_intel_x4x5_sereis.exe

After you extract it, there is an "All" folder. Put those files on a CD or floppy and then when first starting the Windows XP install, it will say "Hit F6 to install a 3rd party driver". Hit F6 and then point it toward those files. Hopefully that will work for you!

thanks.

that link doesn't look like the offical gigabyte.ca site tho?

Why not just get the "F6 floppy" straight from Intel?

jivetrky: XP only supports loading additional drivers from floppy (no CD or USB, those are Vista options). If you don't have a floppy, then you've either got to install with the BIOS set to IDE mode, and deal with changing it to ACHI/RAID later, or slipstream your drivers into a fresh CD.

^^ slip streaming ftw

The difference between the ICH10R and the ICH10 controller is... the R version is RAID, and the latter is non-RAID. If SATA Mode is set to AHCI instead of Legacy IDE (or IDE, depending on your particular options) in the BIOS (normally located under Integrated Peripherals--> OnChip IDE Device--> SATA Mode), then you'll need to supply AHCI drivers for the ICH10 controller during the F6 portion of Setup. Like petteyg359 suggested, set the controller's mode to Legacy IDE / IDE, which XP has native support for. Thus you won't need to supply drivers via a floppy disk during Setup.

yea ok, but my mobo is ICH10, not ICH10R. so would it matter if i use ICH10 driver or can i use ICH10R driver?

Hyperian · Mar 20, 2009

ok so i tried both the links and put it in a floppy disk.
pette's link has various ICH7 to 10R drivers which i put into a floppy disk and windows xp detected, but it blue screened like usual when it go to windows setup

when i tried the link jivetrky recommended, the it says it's missing a text file, so i burned a cd with the drivers in the folder All streamed in with nLite, it load up to windows setup and blue screened again.

sound liek you have a differnt problem . Run memtest.

You shouldnt need to install any driver cause you are not useing raid ...

ghost_recon88 · Mar 20, 2009

What modes are your hard drives set for? AHCI?

Hyperian · Mar 20, 2009

yea i am trying to install the SATA hdd and SATA drives as AHCI.

I have ran memtest on these memories before in a different computer and it was fine.
should i run them again on this setup?

ok for some reason the memtest86 (latest version, i went to the site to download the iso) iso doesn't load. it just stays at Loading...................... that comes up after the PC device listing ...

i also noticed something in the list
IRQ 11 is shared by USB 1.1 host controller and mass storage controller.
IRQ 15 is shared by USB 1.1 host controller and display controller and native IDE controller.
IRQ 7 is shared by USB 1.1 host controller and USB 2.0 controller and another USB 1.1 host controller and SMBus controller.

could the sharing be causing the problem? if so how do i make it so they dont share?

petteyg359 · Mar 20, 2009

Check if your BIOS has an APIC setting. If it does, turn it off, and see if memtest will start, then.

Hyperian · Mar 21, 2009

petteyg359: do you mean ACPI? i cant seem to find APIC. if so, i dont think i can disable it, only change from either S1 or S3.

Hyperian · Mar 21, 2009

either way, i set it to S1, didnt work. still stuck on loading.....

redduc900 · Mar 21, 2009

You need to change from AHCI to IDE mode on the ICH10. You don't need to supply any drivers during the F6 portion of Setup when the controller is set to IDE.

Hyperian · Mar 21, 2009

redduc: i know. but i don't want to run my SATA drives in IDE. All the drives i have are SATA.

Can anyone point me to the ICH10 drivers and not the ICH10R drivers?

Hyperian · Mar 21, 2009

I am reading documentation of drivers and the 32bit floppy disk download from intel's website.

there is a driver that is call ICH10D/DO AHCI controller, what is that? is that what i am looking for?

Hyperian · Mar 21, 2009

ok just slipstreamed ICH10D/DO AHCI controller. doesnt work.

ICH10 ICH10R difference?
