Dell Optiplex 330, Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers & Win 7
I have a dell Optiplex 33 loaded with a Windows 7 image from a Optiplex 380. I did not sysprep the PC prior to capturing the image, but I could get the image to boot on the Optiplex 330 by disabling Ahci in the BIOS.
I have downloaded the proper Sata driver from Dell's website, but can't install the drivers. There is no setup or install included with the drivers. Right clicking and selecting "Install" on the .INF files do not work.
How can I install the drivers in Windows 7 so that I can re-enable AHCI mode?
Some of the driver file names are:
iaahci.inf
iastor.inf
iastor.sys
Any help appreciated!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. Final solution was to change the bios in the first 15 PCs and re-install the chipset and storage manager drivers in the last PCs.
Thanks for all that responded and helped!!

I am wanting to upgrade several optiplex 330's to Windows 7 and I saw this post. How did you get the Windows 7 drivers for the 330, when I go to Dell's site I only see Xp and Vista drivers. Am I wrong?
