To be honest, I'm not sure there are any drivers needed for SATA on this board so maybe it is an exercise in futility.

Actually I think that absic is right in that for Windows 7 64 bit shouldn't need SATA drivers for the motherboard, they are included in the windows disk.

No, you were quite correct, I guess that I must have made a mistake, very sorry mate.

Even with XP x64 you should not need SATA drivers but mainly for you because you can not do RAID or AHCI with that board, so unless you made a mistakes on what model board you have really XP x64 must install there is no other way.  

Unless ICH10 without the R does support AHCI but not RAID in which case you could disable AHCI without drivers which works just as well without that feature
