Dell XPS 400 SCSI/RAID crontroller driver support

Any ideas on where to get Vista drivers for this controller? The present XP
driver is dtscsi.sys; it's an Intel 82801GR/GH SATA RAID controller. It's
hard to believe it isn't supported, as it's such a common part on a common
product. Maybe it will work?

Dell would be the recommend place to get your storage drivers from.

Re: Dell XPS 400 SCSI/RAID crontroller driver support

That is Very Weird, because I installed X64 Windows Server Code Name Long
Horn Beta 2 on my Older Dell Dimension 8400 Desktop Computer without the
need for any additional SATA Driver's Required (Although it has an Older
Intel 82801FB/FBM Controller and an Older Intel ICH6R Chipset).

If you have the drivers, put it on CD/floppy or flash drive. Make sure the
..ini and .sys files are on the root of whatever you use. Most driver
packages have them in folders, and if you do it that way, Vista will not see
them.

RE: Dell XPS 400 SCSI/RAID crontroller driver support

NB, I have the same system and need that SATA driver also. Can't find it on
the Intel site. Hope someone can post location of compatible driver upgrade.
Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor says I can't use the present Intel 82801GR/GH
SATA RAID controller driver. The install will "blue screen" on you after
first reboot.
