Dumb Question For The Experienced

Is the chipset (M/B) driver the same as the SATA driver or is that a
separate controller driver?
(This is on an Intel T4200 2Ghz Dual-Core)

Separate - both in function and in timing of installation (generally).

The Dell site lists a driver for a Samsung HDD and firmware for 3 SATA
DVD/CD drives...but nothing labeled SATA driver.
I wish it were a little clearer!
Thanks Stew

There is no SATA driver because Dell assumes that it is slipstreamed
into XP SP2 or XP SP3. At the level of Windows XP (SP2 or SP3), there
would appear to be a generic module that handles the difference between
SATA and older PATA.

For people who have a newer (Intel 865 chipset or later) motherboard and
either an XP Classic or XP SP1 CD, the absence of a SATA driver on the
CD represents a real conumdrum. Also a royal pain in the ass.

Where can this driver be found? I can possibly burn an install CD w/
nLite and the XP/SP1 disc.

That one should work for any Dell (or any other brand) system with SATA
drives. It is the Intel SATA driver in HPaq packaging... Ben Myers

This must be the correct one from the Dell site:

Yep. Which caused me some degree of confusion my first couple of attempts.
