SATA Driver and Slipstreaming Guide

This guide is a follow up to the slipstream guide, which will describe how to locate and download the right sata drivers for slipstream process. (back to slipstream guide)

A: INTEL SATA DRIVERS
This Guide for notebook with Intel processor.
Search for f6flpy3286 using search engine (Google) download the files. I cannot give the download link from Intel Since it always removed/change over time so resulting in broken link. So here is an example:

On the picture above, I select the first from the result and extract the downloaded file using winrar. Here is the content in the folder:

B: NVIDIA SATA DRIVERS
For ION or ION LE chipset (HP Mini 311 and Compaq Mini 311c series models) and other Nvidia chipsets. Normally model with Nvidia chipset does not require slipstream to install windows XP. In case you need it here is the download link:
Download sata driver: Download

Remember, everything is license nowadays so in case the link expired/broken just search for:  serial ata 11.1.0.30


C: AMD SATA DRIVERS
For any AMD model use the same sata driverwhich is:
Complete name: AMD Serial ATA (SATA) Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) Controller Driver

Simple name: AMD SATA AHCI Controller
Version:  3.10.1540.64

HP User you can download it from HP Server: Download 
Extract or Install, ignore if error. If you install it you will get a folder c:\Swsetup\SP39719. In the folder what we need for the slipstream is the RAID7xx folder.

Conextant Audio Driver For Windows 7 64-bit

This guide made generally for all model, but the drivers made mostly for HP/compaq model. So if you ask me will this work for other model, the answer is YES but you need to get permission from HP so that your action is LEGAL. I do not hold any responsibility if you do it illegally, this post intend to help people who upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit and for tutorial purpose.

INTRODUCTION. (IMPORTANT TO READ)

Normally, in my post i just give a driver, or a simple tutorial to solve the problems. But there are lots of email i received asking how did i understand and know the solution. So i think it is important to describe the way to understand how to solve this problem. I normally didn't want to write a post in details because i know my English not really good so i always keep it short to avoid grammatical error. But i don't want to disappoint those who asked me. So I apologize in advance for my poor English.

There are many type of conextant audio. The way to distingush between them is by the HARDWARE ID(if you dont know what the hardware ID is, don't worry you'll get to it later). By names there are many of it;
-conextant smart audio 221
-Conextant Ac-link Audio
-Conextant High definition Audio
-Conextant AC97 Audio
-Conextant venice Audio
-conexant cx20671 Audio
-conexant cx20561Audio
and there is lot more, i just make the list of the popular names around the net. (i think there are no need for you to know all the list unless you are in this field, just pm me).

So the conclusion is there are many names, but the one differentiate between them is the hardware ID. So lets continue with the Installation for your driver.

1. IDENTIFY YOUR HARDWARE ID.

1. First, to get the right drivers, you need the hardware ID. to get the hardware id you can refer to my tutorial here:
http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-check-hardware-id.html

2. After you get the hardware ID you will get the result like this(the numbers different base on your device):

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_040100
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_0401

3. Ok, from that list, pay attention to the line that i highlight, that is the important line to determine the hardware ID.  Note first line just added the &REV_02 , this addition &REV_02 added because you are using windows 7. So this is the reason why if you install using the windows XP or windows Vista driver directly it will failed, if you install manually from device manager some may success some may not because both xp and vista file doesn't contain &REV_02.
 variation may exist such as &REV_03 etc.The last line 3 and 4, the important line here to note is the number 1002 and 4370, this number show that this is audio type and it is conextant.

How to know the number in hardware ID represent what?
well just google it, many website contain information and database for this driver. That is why sometime realtek AC97 driver can be use to install driver for conextant ac link97 because both share the same ID. Some driver may have one or two ID, but some drivers may contain 100's compatible ID.

II . GETTING THE RIGHT AUDIO DRIVER FOR 64 BIT.

Ok, after you get the hardware ID, compare with the ID i gave below. Download and install the driver. Note that to install it you need to extract the driver (make sure winrar installed).
After that open the extracted folder. Right click at the setup file (exe: UIU.exe etc; name varies) and select run as admin and restart after installation finish.

1. Conextant 64 bit driver 1

How to check Hardware ID

Ok here the Instructions how to check your hardware ID. In this tutorial i will show how to check your Audio hardware ID. You can also use this method to check for other hardware ID. This important to determine what driver you need and what hardware you pc/computer have.

a) IN WINDOWS XP Open device manager by click start, select run and type: DEVMGMT.MSC

In windows 7 and Vista: click start and on the search box type DEVMGMT.MSC

e)Then here you found your hardware ID which circle in red as shown in pic below. (The ID below is for my Desktop, REALTEK Audio so it difference with your ID).

NOTE: 
Your hardware ID determine the driver, for example you have unknown devices, then you check the hardware ID, example you got ACPI/hpq0004, so if you google the ACPI/hpq0004 you will find the drivers is HP 3D DriveGuard.  

ADDITIONAL NOTE:
1. to copy the hardware ID for windows xp press CTRL + A, it will highlight all the hardware ID code and press CTRL + C to copy it.

Sound Disappear After Restart - Part 2

Here is the second method for most Compaq CQ which the sound disappear after restart.
this solution regarding to audio works after installing batch file KB835221.

Download the CQaudiosolution: (Link fixed on March 22 2015)


Inside the RAR file there is an audio patch and devcon patch file. Devcon file will solve issue with KB835221 (missing PnP function id). Follow the given instruction below

a) You must install two patches first from Microsoft: KB835221 (UAA version 1.0) and then kb888111 (UAA update version 1.0a)

b) Install the IDT HD Audio driver (you can use your Vista driver from HP site as well)
c) Extract CQAudioSolution.rar you've downloaded
d) Extract devcon.exe self-extracter from Devcon folder extracted in c)
e) Copy devcon.exe from extracted folder in (d) to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
f) Run Audio path from extracted Audio Path folder in c)
g) Restart
h) You should be able play sound with IDT HD Audio after restart.

However, in Device Manager, there is a exclamation icon on "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus". This is installed by KB835221 patch. Just ignore it. The CQAudioSolution will make sure that there is no more issue with missing IDT HD Audio when restarting after installing the IDT HD Audio driver.
