I have an older system on an ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe mobo. It uses a ULI M1575 chip for HDD control. I have it running Windows XP Pro booting from a SATA drive using the "work-around" of setting SATA port access to IDE Emulation Mode. All good.
Now I want to change to Win 10 on an SSD, so I want to switch to AHCI Mode on the SATA ports. I will keep my pair of SATA HDD's, too, for data storage. Then all that stuff is available when I boot from the SSD on a SATA port.
Now, I also want to have rare use of the old Win XP system, so I have cloned my C: drive to an older smaller IDE HDD. Using the F8 key at boot time I CAN boot from that old drive on an IDE port OR from the new SSD on a SATA port. If I'm in Win 10 that way, I expect I can access the older drive on the IDE port no problem. BUT if I boot from the IDE drive into Win XP Pro, that O/S will not be able to access the SSD or HDD units on the SATA ports using AHCI mode because it never had any AHCI device driver. Does anyone know where to get a device driver for use in 32-bit Win XP Pro and for that ULI M1575 chip that I can just install in the Win XP O/S on the IDE drive to enable such access?
