**Official Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Discussion Thread**

I reinstalled windows 8 on my pc a week ago and the intel storage controller is now using the default microsoft driver. Can any one tell me what intel driver they have loaded so I can select it to change to the relevant driver. I have tried the Intel .inf update but it doesnt change the storage controller driver. Without the intel driver IRST doesnt work correctly.
 
Thanks. I have the latest IRST drivers and 15q bios. My problem is windows has installed the microsoft driver for my Intel sata controller (under storage controllers in device manager). The two marvel controllers show as Marvel in device manager but the intel one shows up as "Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller". I cant install the correct Intel driver as I dont know what it is and the .inf file fails to update it.

I don't know,mine says the same n im using latest rst drivers with win8

if it doesn't update it then those are the most recent drivers

@Bulldog I don't know,never tried but if windows can see the partitions you should be able to install win8 to it,

Can I put windows 8 side by side with windows 7 on the same solid state ? Like two partition split ?

I think you could. You would need to split your SSD on Windows 7 using software, then make sure you run the Windows 8 installation from BIOS and not from Windows 7, it won't give you any options and it will overwrite Windows 7 (I know because I did it)
 
For all the Intel drivers and software I find you get better luck finding the switch to force them to install the Intel ones over sticking with the MS ones.

Just run the installer with -? switch and then look for switches like -overwrite or -overall, annoyingly it seems to be different switches on different installers. This way it should force it to install all the Intel bits from the package, rather than just some and leaving the rest using the default MS ones.

You should then see more devices as being listed as Intel and checking the drivers on them should show the Intel ones with the driver version from the installer package.

how do you do this? idk what you mean by switch:confused:
 
A switch is an option you can add to the command line when running an exe.

So, click Start, Run, then browse for the exe but before you click OK on the Run box add a space and then -? at the end of the command line that will run the exe.

..\Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver\Setup.exe -?

The installer will start as normal but instead of installing it will pop up a dialog box showing all the available switches. They all do various things like forcing reboots, silent installs etc etc, these are useful for people that want to package/deploy/script these as they can control the way the installer works with out needing interaction from the end user.

But the ones we are interested in are any that force the installer to install all the drivers from the package. For Intel these are normally things like...

-overwrite
-overall

and once you know which one you need you can re-run as above but use that switch instead of -?

That is incredibly helpful, many thanks. I will try it shortly.
 
np, let us know how you get on.

tbh I have no idea if the drivers are any different or better than sticking with the MS ones but can't see they'd be any worse. I just prefer using as many manufacturer drivers as possible.
 
I'm using F15q (for a while now) and it's completely resolved my stability issues BUT my front usb ports no longer work. They seem to power up devices and can charge them but they aren't recognised by windows unless I plug directly into the rear usb.

Any ideas? Was fine with F14.
 
I had a few problems on F15Q to do with the USB ports, i'd read that other people have had issues with F15Q to do with USB as well. I reverted back to F14 and i'm staying with that one as touch wood it seems to be a very stable bios version.
