Where to find SCSI drivers for WinXP 32-bit?

Post by Stargate38 »

Does anyone know where I can find SCSI drivers for XP? I've been looking everywhere for them, but I haven't been able to find them. Here's my specs:

Host:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
6 GB RAM
450 GB HDD (single partition)
Intel Ivy Bridge CPU (2 cores totaling 4 threads)

Guest:

Windows XP SP3 32-bit
2 GB RAM
1 CPU core
Main VHD (32 GB, split into 8 GB "Windows (C:)" and 24 GB "Files (D:)" partitions) and 1 CD/DVD drive on IDE
7 more drives totaling 128 GB on SCSI

Because I have too many VHDs to fit in an IDE controller. Would SATA work better?

Yes. And the Intel SATA/AHCI driver for XP-32bit is readily available. ISTR the SATA limit is 30 devices on the bus.

No one ever mentioned WHERE these elusive drivers are to be found, only that they do exist.

I am looking for either Windows XP SCSI or SATA drivers.
IDE is too limited on the number of drives to attach.

I use Windows XP for older applications & a link for DOS to the rest of the world, ie. transferring stuff to & from DOS.

Yeah, there is a FAQ: Board index » Howtos and Tutorials » Windows Guests » How To: Install XP with SATA support (Improved July 2011).

Apparently it needs some update with the latest location of the drivers... ;)
