I don't really need to integrate the drivers into Windows setup, I don't care if I need to manually load the drivers each time, I just need both of them to be loaded at the same time.

PCI\001 = SSD connected to AHCI controller
PCI\002 = HDDs connected to RAID controller

Windows will detect AHCI out of the box, but not the RAID controller. If I load the driver for the RAID controller, Windows will unload the AHCI driver (since the RAID driver.inf claims it would support the AHCI and the RAID DeviceIDs, but it only detects the RAID controller).

For obvious reasons I want to install Windows on the SSD and use the HDDs for data storage. Currently I can only use either SSD or HDDs, not both.

I deliberately asked an "unspecified" question starting the topic since I didn't want to inflate a bigger problem-complex which I already had reduced to one specific single problem.
