Driver Zone

We recommend to use the following drivers for the respective hard disk controller, RAID controller, motherboard chipset or listed hardware device. These may be not the most recent versions of the drivers, but they were tested either by us or reported by most users as actually working, meaning that they do allow getting complete hard disk status information and they do enable important disk features, as e.g. TRIM on SSD drives. Different versions from the ones listed here _might_ work on your system, but usually they have been found to be quite buggy and therefore we do not recommend their use.

I have windows 7 running on this motherboard with the original hard disk. I am trying to set up a spare hard disk, it boots to win7 disk and gets to the partition stage of the set up and asks to enable the disk controller. This is where the problem lies. I can't see where to enable the disk controller in the bios. Thanks for your help.

The following drivers are tested and recommended to use for the appropriate hard disk controller, RAID controller, motherboard chipset or related hardware device to get complete hard disk status information:

Note that all hard disk controllers provide hard disk status information in single/standalone mode only unless RAID mode is listed for the appropriate hard disk controller (RAID controller).

Note: the firmware update for ASMedia ASM1051 USB3.0 bridge may work with enclosures, adapters based on this chip to get the missing status information. Not recommended for SIIG JU-SA0212-S1 as the device does not work with the new firmware.

Please check back for new, updated, tested and verified drivers for different disk controllers.

In some situations, the newest (most recent) drivers may not be working correctly, in this case the updated version is not listed and you should select a driver from this list.

Suggestions: The set of common drivers in Active@ Boot Disk may not include the driver for your hard drive controller.

In this case, you can add or load additional drivers yourself...

Firstly, you will need to identify the type of hard drive controller you have in your computer.

You can look that up in the properties of My Computer — Device Manager — under IDE ATA controllers or under Storage controllers.

Another way is to look up the specifications of your computer from the manufacturer's web page.

Whether you have a Dell, HP, Sony, Gateway or other brand of system, the manufacturer's support pages will identify what controller you have based on your system's model number or other service identifying number.

The manufacturer's support pages are also the location of where you can download the drivers for your system. You will need to download the 64-bit drivers as the Active@ Boot Disk environment is based on a 64-bit version of Windows. Once you have downloaded the drivers, you may load them in one of three ways.

1. When running the Boot Disk Creator add the driver INF and accompanying SYS files to the 'Add Drivers' section. These will be saved to the bootable media and automatically loaded when booting your system up.

2. You may load the drivers after boot-up. Once booted into Active@ Boot Disk, Click on the Start menu, then select 'Load Driver'. The dialog allows you to browse to the location of where you stored the driver INF and accompanying SYS files. Clicking on the INF file will load the drivers.

3. Create a folder called Bootdisk_Drivers on the root of any drive that will be visible after boot (without requiring the extra drivers) and copy the required files to that folder. During the boot process, these drivers will be loaded automatically.You should now be able to access your hard drives after the driver is successfully loaded.

Tip: You can remove the Boot Disk Media at any time after boot-up and insert the media where you have stored your driver files to be loaded.
