Re: Infinst intel chipset and windows7 and Gigabyte mobo

You do not "Have" to install chipset drivers, but it is suggested!

Here is the latest Chipset drivers 9.1.1.1019 >>

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Chipset+Software+Installation+Utility

Please download the second link not the first

I have just installed it, but I can't approve that is it correctly installed.
All system drivers signed as microsoft driver, not intel. (SMBUS for example)

How can I check it that all inf drivers installed correctly ? (running setup again says that all drivers installed correctly)

Check PCI Express drivers/bridge drivers. If it installed then it is installed, it would error on you otherwise. Sometimes it only updates 1-2 drivers as needed, other times it may update many

Yes you can connect a drive with no rack, just the drive. I do suggest you connect drives with the system off though for safety

Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility 9.1.1.1020 was released today, might try that.

All of my system drivers are still microsoft.
ICH10 family pci express root port, pci bridge, smbus etc.

Don't know if this helps, but the list of commands you can run for the inf utility (from command line):

-?
Displays the list of available command line
flags. This flag works in Interactive Mode only.

-A
Extracts all the INF files and Readme to either
"C:\Program Files\Intel\InfInst" or the
<Installation Path> directory specified using
the '-P' flag. The software will NOT install
these INF files to the system. This flag can
be combined only with the '-P' flag. All other
options will be ignored if the '-A' flag is
specified. This flag works in Interactive Mode
only.

-Aonly
Extracts only the INF files necessary for the
current system. If the install has been run once
successfully, '-Aonly' will not return any INFs.
When used in conjunction with '-overall' switch,
all the needed INFs for the system will be
extracted.

-B
Automatically reboots the system after
installation. This flag is ignored if '-A' flag
is specified. This flag works in either Silent
Mode or Interactive Mode.

-f2<path\Logfile>
Specifies an alternate location and name
of the log file created by InstallShield Silent.
This option is used for silent installation from
a CD. 'Path' indicates the directory path where
installation status is logged in file 'Logfile'

-L<LangCode>
Forces the installer user interface to
display the specified language during setup.
Note that there should be NO space between
'-L' and the 4-digit language code (see below).
This flag must be placed at the end of the
command line flag list. This flag works in
Interactive Mode only.

-NOLIC
Does not display the license agreement dialog box during
installation. This parameter works in Interactive
Mode only.

-NOREAD
Does not display the Readme display during installation.
This flag works in Interactive Mode only.

-NOWEL
Does not display the welcome screen during installation.
This flag works in Interactive Mode only.

-OVERALL
Updates ALL INF drivers on all available devices
even if third party drivers are currently installed.
This flag works in Interactive Mode only.

-OVERIDE
Updates the storage drivers even if a third
party storage driver is currently installed.
This flag works in Interactive Mode only.

-OVERSMB
Updates the SMBus drivers even if third party SMBus
drivers are currently installed. This flag works
in Interactive Mode only.

-P<Installation Path>
Specifies the hard disk location to which the
INF program files are copied. If this flag is
not specified at the command line, the
<Installation Path> directory is as follows:

C:\Program Files\Intel\INFInst

If this flag is used without the '-A' option,
only the Readme will be copied to
<Installation Path>. The directory name can
include spaces, but then a pair of double quotes
(") must enclose the directory name. There should
not be any space between the switch '-p' and the
directory name. This flag works in either Silent
Mode or Interactive Mode.

-S
Runs the Installer in Silent Mode (no user
interface is displayed). This flag and the
'-L' flag must be placed at the end of the
command line flag list.

-SKIP<DevID>
Suppresses the installation of one or more
devices.This flag works in either Silent Mode
or Interactive Mode.

In your case you will want to add -OVERALL which will force the system to accept the intel ini's

Hope it helps!

ex. C: \ Users \ <UserName> \ Desktop \ <Intel Chipset Utility installer> -OVERALL

Yeps. I've always just used the Intel Chipset Software for all Intel-chispet based boards I've handled.
