Optiplex 755 Drivers needed.

I am trying to restore to new hardware from an Optiplex 260 to an Optiplex 755 and everytime that I am done it asks for the Broadcom driver and 82801IB/IR/IH (ICH9 Family) 6 port SATA drivers. I am able to load the broadcom driver manually but am unable to load the 82801IB/IR/IH (ICH9 Family) 6 port SATA drivers. This boot disk was created from a 2003 R2 server that was on an Optiplex 755 already so I figured that it would work with no problems but that isn't the case. After ignoring this driver it will boot with the Windows 2003 logo then reboot. It seems to stop or loop when it goes to the HAL. I know that if I went to the BIOS and changed the SATA operation to standard ATA or Legacy it would probably work.

Is there any solution out there yet for these Optiplex 755 drivers. It seems that there are a lot of issues with these new Dell 755 computers.

    I was able to solve my own problem. I manually created a recovery disk and placed all drivers inside of it. Now I am able to retore with RAID Autodetect / AHCI enabled in the BIOS. Even after the restore I was left with about 6 hardware drivers missing but now they all get installed with having to manually install them one by one.
