Computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software???

Just purchased an ASUS P8P67 Pro rev 3.1. I took my boot drive (with XP Pro) and did a repair proceedure so that I would not have to re-install everything again. I put the bios at IDE instead of AHCI since I knew that my current copy of XP pro would not have the necessary AHCI driver. Everything went well.

When I try to update the chipset with the IRST_V10501026 chip set (from the ASUS support site) or the infinst911autol.exe from the intel support site, I get the above error (Computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software).

Am I using the wrong driver update for my chipset, which I believe is the P67 Express Chipset.

I do not intend to install a RAID...just want to get the AHCI driver at some point.

My XP Pro is fully patched with the latest service packs.

Any ideas around this issue or is there a different chipset update that I should be downloading and installing?

Hello,

In order to be able to install Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology the system BIOS needs to be already set on AHCI or RAID mode.

This implies that the operating system was installed with that setting already set and that the appropriate F6 drivers were loaded during the operating system installation.

At this point you will need to se the system BIOS to RAID or AHCI and reinstall the operating system loading the required f6 drivers

A follow up question:

I have installed AHCI and now my ASUS board is using the AHCI drivers for my sata drives.
What is the advantage...if any of installing Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology now?

Installing Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology will initialize the service that controls the features that this SATA controller supports on AHCI mode, such as NCQ and hot swap on e-SATA ports
