    Windows 7 Setup - USB 3.0 and AHCI drivers


    Split from this thread. Hi, I’ve already downloaded the Windows 7 ISO from archive.org, but I’m running into an issue—during the boot screen, the mouse and keyboard aren’t detected, so I can’t click “Next” to start the installation.I'm using a 9th Gen Intel PC, and I suspect it’s due to missing USB 3.0 or AHCI drivers. I tried integrating the drivers using NTLite, but it doesn’t seem to preinstall them properly. Is there a reliable way to inject USB 3.0 and AHCI drivers so they load during boot?

    :)

    Changing IDE to AHCI standard procedure

    You mean install Windows 7 again in AHCI mode and during setup press F6 to read AHCI files from USB?

    After that will i have to tweak the registry from 3 to 0 in the MSAHCI service?

    How Do I Install the AHCI Drivers After Installing Windows 7 Registry is NCQ Already

    Hi. The NCQ is already set to 0 in Windows 7 registry but when I use AHCI through the BIOS, it says "error loading the operating system" and would not boot until you bring back the BIOS from AHCI to the normal IDE.

    You can get AHCI capabilites by pressing F6 and a floppy (or CD/DVD if you're using a USB to set it up) and installing the AHCI drivers before you install Windows 7 64-bit but how do you install it after you've installed Windows 7 64-bit?

    Should I boot from Windows 7 setup again and install the drivers from there or would that mess up my Windows 7?

    Also Intel has AHCI drivers, as well as Gigabytes GA-965P-DS3 rev. 1.0 (It's named as: GIGABYTE SATA2 Preinstall driver for AHCI / RAID Mode then they have a separate driver for just Raid named: GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID Driver). Which one do I use?

    Intel has these: Gigabytes has these:
    TXTSETUP xraid_f
    iaahci txtsetup
    iastor jraid.sys
    iaAHCI jraid
    iaStor
    iaStor.sys
    F6Readme
    license

    Thanks in advance.

    God bless.

    USB Formatting windows 7 problem load driver!

    It's easy. You need a patching original W7 ISO for integrated USB 3.0 driver!
    You should using a
    Windows 7* USB 3.0 Creator Utility or Asus EZ Installer
    .
