Intel 82801 BA Ultra ATA Controller driver

Can't continue with installation because my Intel 82801 BA Ultra ATA
Controller drivers are not current. Did a search on the Intel support web
site for updated drivers and found that they longer make and support this
device. Anybody else have this problem or can anybody offer any suggestions
on how to get drivers? I have a Gateway 700XL and the Gateway support site
doesn't have the drivers either....

I had the same problems during the install with my 82801 i went into bios
during the start up and changed my start up under advanced change your ide
controller to both and it should install fine.

I went to change my BIOS settings but it was already set to both. Any other
suggestions would be appreciated.

yes under the advanced tab, switch to ahci and it should install, i
reinstalled xp and then reinstalled vista just to make sure this would work
for you. let me know when you are up and running!

If the setting is supposed to be in IDE Controllers under the Advanced Tab, I
do not have AHCI as an option - only Disabled, Primary, Secondary, or Both.

I have the exact same problem, with a Gateway 1500XL. This is technically an
Intel 850G Mobo, but proprietary to Gateway. I've upgraded the BIOS as far
as Gateway has supported it, (stopped in 2002). Still looking for a way
around this problem, appears to be the IDE driver, for which there is no
upgrade anymore.

ok, under the advanced tab, make sure your settings read this, "onboard
PATA/SATA [ BOTH ] and the other one is SATA MODE [ AHCI ] that
should correct the problems you are having. then when you install vista i
recommend creating a new partion and leaving xp on your machine like i did
that way if you have problems with your vista as i have then you will be
able to use xp as a back up while u work with vista on the same machine, you
can email me directly for help at or yahoo messanger
if i can assist you any other way!
