Hi,
I would like to reply, because i had the same problem. Bought a toshiba satellite c-660 i5 processor and HM65 express chipset.
I needed windows xp pro instead of win7-home.
It allready took me some time to find out i had to stop ahci in bios to install xp.
After installing xp i wanted to put support for ahci back:
i had tw sata drivers installed after doing updates from intel, one 2 port and one 4 port.I followed this site, but if i updated the 2 port->blue screen.
if i updated the 4 port it was ok, but when changing to ahci in bios-> blue screen.
I had to uninstall the two port and then update the 4 port to express mobile and then this worked.
I found it after 1.5 days, pffieuw.
Just wanted to write this, if someone els was looking.

Ciao

I am back again after figuring out how to uncompress the matrix manager……there is lots of advice to use the components of the intel matrix manager self extracting file…but precious little info about how to extract the files without installation..especially if you are constructing this on an AMD computer……i have found a site that tells how to obtain the driver components so you can place them where you want them to be… http://community.landesk.com/support/people/jan.buelens/blog/2009/05/05/how-to-build-a-generic-sata-ready-winpe-image
this was the rosetta stone for me… hope it helps others.
