GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-P61-S3 (rev. 2.0)

Ive installed the rest of the drivers provided by manufacturer except the SATA RAID/AHCI ones.The Intel Rapid Storage Technology gave me an error that I dont meet the system requirements so I no longer insisted with the others. Hmmm, why are these listed for my motherboard then? or what exactly are they?
I was thinking I need to instal first the
"Intel SATA Preinstall driver(For AHCI / RAID Mode) Note: Press F6 during Windows setup to read from floppy" -the last item on the list -but dont know how , there are just some "sytem files, security catalog, setup information". You can fast download and checked them.
 
If you have install the Chipset drivers, Sata drivers are part of the chipset.
 
Good. Dont know why theyr are listed separately in the download section on my motherboard page.
 
so you dont agree with the above theog?
at my manufacturer page I have 3 items to download? which exaclty is this from intel
and what download do I need from Intel



iata_enu.exe: provides English-only files if you have an English version of the operating system.
iata_cd.exe: provides multiple language files if you have an operating system other than English.

Optional: one of the following F6 Driver Diskettes (depending on your operating system):

f6flpy-x86.zip - for 32-bit versions of the operating system
f6flpy-x64.zip - for 64-bit versions of the operating system


in my device manager at storage controllers I have 2 items: Microsoft storage spaces controller and Microsoft VHD Loopback Controller
 
look under IDE ATA/ATPI controllers

Hmmm but I dont know if they were installed within windows 8 or after I ve instaled the chipsets from Manufacturer page.
To be honest do I realy need to install all these drivers from motherboard page or from intel or Windows installation do the job?
the only change Ive spoted after installing the chipsets is that a new item was lised at my program and features : Intel management engine components probablly after installing the Intel management engine interface ( Im not sure if this was really necesary and ifI should install only the much smaller Intel INF installation- see them at manufacturer page )
