Good day! There is an Acer Aspire X3400 PT.SE2E1.017 system unit with a burned out SATA controller (does not see connected devices). I put a PCI-E controller SATA RAID Silicon Image SiI-3132 there. There is only one hard disk, which the controller does not like (as well as the presence of a DVD drive on the second port), but Windows 7 x64, after slipping the drivers from the USB flash drive, sees the disk and successfully passed the first stage of installation. Then 15 seconds counted down, a reboot occurred, and "reboot and select proper boot device". In the BIOS, setting the boot from the controller does not work out, the only thing you can boot from is USB and the built-in card reader. From a live flash drive with WinPE, all files on the HDD are visible, of course, after the driver is loaded. That is, you need to write a certain bootloader to a USB flash drive, configure it to boot from 1 partition 1 HDD connected to SiI,
The question is: how to make such a flash drive?
UPD:
On the advice of ixbt, I soldered an EEPROM with SoftRAID firmware, this fucking piece of textolite turned into just a SATA controller. But as before, it is visible only under Windows and only after loading the drivers. How to boot from it is not clear. Please help!

IDE-HDD is not easier to connect?
Well, or take a SATA-USB adapter.

They write that it needs to be reflashed in order to be able to boot.
In general, downloading from an external controller is an independent feature that does not always work with sparks, so you had to take care before buying and take only proven ones.
