ICH9R on Asus P5E

[Idontcare]

(I googled but no luck finding help, admittadly I may suck at google so...)

Pressing F6 during WinXP SP2 install and after it reads from the floppy it presents me with some 4 or 5 driver options.

Now I am trying to install XP onto a Raid array on the ICH9R. I assume it is safe to not worry about the drivers listed as "mobile".

That leaves me two options - one is "ICH8R/ICH9R" and the other is "ICH9R AHCI".

I thought AHCI was a Vista thing, not an XP thing. Which driver am I suppose to tell WinXP to use during the install?

Try this link.

I was gonna type out an answer but this was quicker/easier ...

1st option, second option is for SATA drives not running in RAID but running in 'enhanced' SATA mode called AHCI

Thanks for the link, that explains a lot actually.

And thanks for the answer regarding which option to choose. I had a 50/50 chance of guessing the correct one, you confirmed I did luck out with my choice!
