What’s happened to this thread? it seems to have lost 1 weeks worth of activity ?!?
Ah… Win10 breaking the driver pack discussion has been moved here RE: [HOT] Win10 Update makes nForce RAID arrays unaccessable
Great move will make it easier to discuss and resolve Microsoft’s blunder.
The discussion about the sudden unavailability of the nForce RAID arrays after having updated Win10 have been moved into >this< separate thread.
Reasons:
- The reports and the discussion about the above mentioned severe problem, which has been caused by Microsoft, have nothing to do with my driverpacks, which I am offering within this thread.
- Splitting this already big sized thread into 2 separate ones will give all Forum members and visitors more clearness. This way it will be easier to follow the discussion and their possible results resp. solutions.
Nothing has been sweeped or deleted.
Hello
I have this motherboard Asrock ALiveNF5SLI-1394 with chipset NVIDIA® nForce 560 SLI Chipset.
Is better to work ssd in sata ide mode or in raid mode?
Better i mean faster and stable.
And which driver i must to install?
Thanks in advanced.

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
It is better to run the SSD in AHCI or IDE mode, because this way you have TRIM support.
If you are able to run your SSD in AHCI mode, I recommend to use the in-box MS AHCI driver. It is the only AHCI driver, which will clean your SSD automaticly by sending TRIM commands.
If your chipset should be not supported by the MS in-box AHCI driver, I recommend to use the MS in-box IDE driver. It will support TRIM as well.
When it comes to other nForce chipset drivers, you will find appropriate ones for your MCP65 system within my "Latest nForce Driverpacks".

Thank you, Fernando, for your hard work and efforts. I have an nforce4 MCP61 chipset that was causing a daily (every 87320 seconds of uptime) DPC watchdog violation blue screen. nvstor.sys used by the SATA driver 10.6.0.23 from nvidia was causing the problem. Your “LEGACY mode SATA/PATA and RAID Driver (v6.99) signed by you” in the “Special 64bit nForce3-4 LEGACY Driverpack for Win7-10 x64 v10.3” made my desktop gaming computer stable again. Thank you again.
Here’s the thread where the problem was solved: https://forums.mydigitallife.info/thread…l=1#post1273430
Hey Fernando,
I’ve an nForce 750i Motherboard (MSI P7N SLI), and have fitted a new SATA III SSD.
Would one of your optimized drivers allow 3Gbit/s SATA II speed, rather than how it is currently stuck at 1.5Gbit/s please (Sandisk SSD utility reports this)?
This is with a fresh Windows 10 64Bit install. I’m not sure if my BIOS has AHCI mode option but from what I’ve read the old nForce driver restricts to SATA I speed as it doesn’t recognise the newer drives.
Thanks,
Biggy

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
Since your nForce 750i chipset (MCP55) system doesn’t support the AHCI protocol and the appropriate nForce SATA drivers may not support the SATA2 modus, I recommend to let Win10 use the generic MS IDE driver named PCIIDE.SYS.
Big advantage: Contrary to the nForce SATA drivers the MS IDE driver supports the TRIM command, which will give you a long-term security of a good SSD performance.

Hi Fernando,
I replaced the nForce drivers in Device Manager with ‘Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller’. Seems ok but still stuck at 1.5Gbit/s link speed.
The SSD has really sped the PC up though and I probably wont notice much difference I guess if I bought a SATA III card like the StarTech one
Thanks,
Andy
Hello,
Just to inform that my EeePC 1201N (MCP-7A chipset) performs better (using an SSD and AHCI driver from your package v10.4) when using SMU driver from nVidia MCP79 Chipset, v.15.57 pack (downloaded at dell site).
SMU driver from dell is v5.1.2600.0208, the one from your v10.4 pack is 5.1.2600.0171
From what I understand it seems that small files read/write performs significantly better.
Regards.
Hi,
Are the modded driver compatible with Windows 8.1?
Yes.
driver packs >Latest 32bit nForce Driverpack for Win7-10 x86 v10.4< works well with latest windows_10_version_1607_updated_jul_2016_x86 iso .
it also has two others drivers that are not installed : the smu that has no driver with w10 [ named coprocessor with a ? ] and the driver for pci bus in smbus [ that w10 "drives" ]…
I’ve been reading this thread with great interest, hoping someone has already posted about my scenario. Not yet.
I want to upgrade my graphics to GeForce GTX 950. I tried everything and all I get on reboot is a black screen after a 3-second beep, nothing on the display at all. There is some drive activity for a short while and then nothing. I chatted with EVGA and they said my mobo does support the GTX 950 but that, as we all know, the mobo drivers have not been updated in years and definitely not for Windows 10. Enter Fernando.
Could these Fernando drivers be the missing link that will get the GTX 950 up and running? If so, I’ll need some help with which drivers I need to install. I don’t use RAID. I boot off an SSD drive. Thanks !
I have read in several forums that perhaps what may work is activating legacy mode in BIOS, or making the PCI-e the primary display (I believe it already is), remove the card and halt the CPU while booting and then insert the card and continue, disable Intel’s HD drivers (I don’t believe I’m using them), and disabling secure boot (I don’t think I use that either).
UPDATE: I tried updating manually the network drivers using the INF file in Fernando’s ETHERNET folder but got an error: “a problem was encountered while attempting to add the driver to the store”. I also tried using setup.exe which completed successfully, but the driver details still show the MS drivers as being installed (maybe I have to reboot?).

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
I am sorry, but I cannot help you to solve the conflict between your old NVIDIA nForce chipset and the brandnew NVIDIA Geforce graphics card.
Since I neither have an nForce chipset mainboard nor a Geforce GTX 950, I am not even able to do some tests by using nForce drivers, which have been modified a different way.
Furthermore you should keep in mind, that - according to Microsoft - nForce chipsets are officially not supported by Windows 10.
It is really a pity, that graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA doesn’t care about the users of chipsets, which have been developed and produced by the same company.
Hopefully you will get a solution from anyone else.

Dieter (alias Fernando)
Thanks for the response, Dieter. I’m not giving up ! Thorne
Dieter… I know you haven’t had experience with my setup, but is there a way I can install your drivers so that I can get experience with your work? Per the update I made to my post, I tried installing your ethernet driver, but it doesn’t seem to have been installed.
Hi Fernando!
Thx for your work here. You are the Rescue for my Problem.
I want to install Windows 10 on my Computer. My Mainboard is the Asus M4N78 Pro with a GeForce 8300 Chipset. Asus Driver fpr Win7 is named…"NVIDIA nForce Chipset Package Driver V15.45(Chipset version 4.6.9.0)".
Can you tell me if I can take your Latest nForce Driverpacks for Win7-10 (Version 10.4) for my Setup?
Thx
How did you check it?
Maybe you have to force the manual installation of the related driver by hitting the "Have Disk" button.
@cheffe1304 :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
Yes, you should be able to use my "Latest NVIDIA nForce Driverpack", but I am not sure, whether all included nForce drivers will be taken by the OS Win10.
