Error message for HDD controller with windows 7

[tracyballard]

I've got Windows 7 running now, and I have a persistent problem that won't go away. the error message says "there is no driver software installed for Marvell 91xx config ATA device", which seems to be saying that my HDD controller is not working properly. I have updated the drivers at the mobo website (ASRock), and that fixed all the problems except this one. I tried the Marvell website for an updated driver, but it's a dead end. Windows cannot find a driver anywhere for it, and can only suggest that I go to the Marvell site. What do I do now?? use a zip drive instead??? floppy??? the HD does seem to actually be working now, but the error messages say the speed will be slow and fuction erratic.

Need some info from you..

1. What motherboard are you using?
2. Do you have sata 2 or sata 3 hard drive?

actually, I just solved the problem a few minutes ago by going to this site:

http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/free-download-marvell-91xx-ahci-raid-controller-drivers.html

while my computer was restarting to do a windows update, I noticed the full name of the controller in question (Marvell 88SE91xx) and googled it, that search took me to the proper driver download.


if you're curious, the board is an ASRock 890GM Pro 3, with a Samsung SATA II (3gb/s) drive.
