The safest and easiest way to get the problematic nForce textmode drivers properly installed is to integrate them by using a tool like nLite. They only succeeded after having created special folders and edited some SIF and/or OEM files.

Until 2005 the correct installation of the nForce S-ATA/P-ATA Controllers and drivers needed addtional manual work of the user.

Nevertheless the developers of the driver integration method had to solve the above specified problem (see point 3).

Only this way the user can be sure to succeed with the installation of the OS onto an nForce RAID or AHCI system. The better alternative is the integration of the needed textmode drivers into a bootable OS CD. Even if the user loads the correct nForce drivers and the RAID is detected by Windows Setup, the OS installation may end with a BSOD and endless reboot loops.

The F6/floppy method doesn't work at all with some 'LEGACY mode' nForce RAID systems.

Bad floppy disks are the main reason for corrupted driver files.

Floppy disks are the worst data storage media regarding the file integrity.

A floppy drive is needed, but not available at many actual desktop computers and notebooks.

The traditional method to provide the needed drivers by F6/floppy has some severe disadvantages: Unless the suitable nForce Sata/PataRAID or AHCI drivers are separately presented by the user, the OS installation fails, because the OS Setup doesn't find the related RAID/AHCI drives and their partitions. None of the Pre-Vista Windows Operating Systems do support the S-ATA Controller features RAID ('Redundant Array of Independent Disks') and AHCI ('Advanced Host Controller Interface').

So this first post will always be up-to-date! If I get any new information, which might be important or useful, I will edit it into this post! All you need to know is laid down in this first post. There is no reason to waste time and to read them. This thread has got a big volume with a lot of sites and hundreds of replies. Important information for all users, who are here for the first time Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.All users with a NVIDIA nForce RAID or AHCI system: This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available. Does side of the innovations, this version 6.39 correct some problems of compatibility (software and/or hardware?) and brings the support of the function 'Disk Alert System' which allows, in the event of breakdown of a hard disk, to visualize directly under Windows on which port Serial ATA is connected the defective hard disk. Better is worth all the same in this case to remain with version 5.10 not to take risks. These new drivers relate to according to Nvidia only the chipsets nForce 4 (CK804 A02 and CK804 A03) but it would seem that it is obviously possible to use them with the preceding revisions of the nForce. Indeed, Nvidia published last Friday the generic version 6.39 WHQL of the ForceWare drivers for nForce.

The recent mother charts equipped with a chipset nForce 4 have just profited from an update their drivers.
