T60/p 4k Sector HDD Fix (Windows)

#1 Post by Kasm279 » Wed Apr 15, 2015 9:29 pm

If you've just installed Windows 7 on your T60/p (and possibly T61/p as well) and notice that Windows Update keeps failing and you have other weird glitches, check if you have a 4k sector (Advanced Format) hard drive. If you do, you'll need to install Intel RST 9.6 (AHCI driver.) Intel says this release doesn't support the 945 chipset the T60 uses, but in practice it does. So, if you're installing on an AF hard drive, either load these before installation or after you've installed.
