Can anyone tell me where i could download the drivers need to install SATA
RAID using the F6 option under Windows XP?

I know motherboard CD's come with the drivers and you extract them off the
disc and make a F6 floppy install disc, but can they be downloaded from the
net?

For nVidia nForce 3 Ultra motherboards.......

What's wrong with the manufacturer's web site?
 
Read the motherboard manual. It should tell you what make SATA RAID you
have. Silicon Image is probably a good bet. Promise is the other popular
brand.

You could look on the motherboard CD using Windows Explorer to browse the
CD, and see who's they are. Example: Sil_3XXX is Silicon Image. That way you
would also see the version you have.

The SATA RAID is Silicon Image, the PATA is GigaRAID (This is if it is the
same as the K8NNXP that I am running).

No, there is no GigaRAID controller. It has a Sil3512 controller and you can
download the nesscary drivers from the Silicon Image website;

What i am looking for is the drivers for the NVIDIA SATA controller, to
setup RAID under a fresh install of Windows XP Professional SP2.
 
Can you extract the NVidia SATA driver from the installation CD to a floppy,
set up your RAID, install the OS and the full chipset drivers. Then update
those from the Gigabyte download site?

I couldn't find any specific (separate) NForce 3 Ultra SATA drivers either.
They have to be embedded in the chipset driver package.

I was hoping you would understand that there is none,,,, its an ALL IN
ONE install it seems. after you download it, maybe there are folders
created that contain the sata drivers or it has a batch file that
creates a floppy. Your the one that has the manual on that board
right?, if I remember , there was an 'insert' given that
discussed sata install.

Manual says the F6 floppy drivers are on the CD, you can create a floppy
disk using the CD or at bootup.
 
ok.. that sounds right but you have no cd....so download the drivers
and run the install. You read the page right, so your aware of certain
criteria has to be met. It looks as though they expect a full install
already present of the OS WITH SPx already done BTW. So this, as a
first time clean install, isn't user friendly to say the least.
Doesn't seem right, but you can get the driver files by downloading
the file.

It's a self-extracting archive. Alternatively, you can use WinRAR to
extract only what you want.

I downloaded the nForce 5.10 file, extracted and looked...they are not
present. Can you tell me what specific files are within nForce 5.10 and what
names of the files are?
