Should I install Intel MSM? Why? I am not using RAID, just AHCI. The whole process and status should be much simpler and clean. Hard to believe between MSFT and Intel, this late in the Windows game, that this is still such an incredibly ugly, confusing and unclear mess.

There does not seem to be any unistall process and there is no entry in Programs and Features. inf files where the readme.txt says there should be. Why would MSFT use a 2006 driver and say that is the latest one available? I supposedly installed the following but as far as I can tell it did nothing to the system as there are no. (2008.02.25) Operating Systems: Win7, Win7 圆4, Vista, Vista 圆4, 2003, XP, XP-圆4 Details of the Current Driver which I verified in Device Manager: Device: Intel(R) ICH10 Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3A3A Version. Details of the supposed NEW driver: description: Intel(R) 4 Series Chipset Processor to I/O Controller - 2E00 Signed on 2009.06.05 File size: 1205.6 kiB (1,234,609 octets) Driver Version: 9. Seems Intel is really bad on their driver updates! I've had so many issues over the years with Intel who have become much too arrogant and so disconnected from actual users. As an aside, I move the mobile tray and hence the 1T drive to the Gigabyte sata controller running in IDE mode and the drive is recognized there. Does this make any sense at all? I ran the Phoenix Technologies Driver Update posted on the Gigabyte site since Gigabyte themselves offered no updated drivers for the P45.ICH10R chipset combination and this utility told me Intel has a new driver available and that the current Windows 7 driver is from 2006! Should I install this new driver? Windows update shows no updates available and Device Manager driver update says I have the latest driver! Thanks, Dave P.S.
