Cable Forum - View Single Post - Identifying an AHCI controller in XP (Laptop)

Well the laptop is in working order and the drive is new. What I'm looking for I guess is some utility that will drill past Windows driver information which calls the controller a "standard dual channel ide controller" so I can search for an XP driver. Right now I'm left with the only possibility of opening it up which I'm trying to avoid. Windows 7 by the way, listed it as a standard AHCI controller using msahci.sys and the driver being from 2006.
