That's why I am confused.  When I go the posted link, under SATA drivers, the two that I see are R158600.exe and R158601.exe.  The driver that the OS reload needs is iaStor.sys.  References to this driver do appear on Intel's site but I can't locate a way to download it. I am trying to do a reload on a Dimension E520. Vince
I an trying to reload XP Professional on a Dell Dimension E520.  I am booting from the dvd drive and am using the Dell supplied DVD that came wit the computer. During the "installing windows" process this message appears: "The file 'iaStor.sys on Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver is needed".  It then provides the capability to specify a path. I have  not been able to locate this driver to download from either Intel or Dell's websites.  Can anyone please provide me with some assistance? Thanks, Vince
