Updating Intel ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller

I noticed there is an update for the Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller on the dell download section dated for January 2008. I cannot figure out how to install this update. It extracts it into a folder but the directions are rather confusing to me! I have tried updating the driver and pointing it to the newly downloaded drivers, but it says windows is already using the most recent version, though it is dated for 6/2007. I have two 500 GB HDD's running in RAID mode. I periodically get the BSOD with the cause being IASTORE.SYS. Seeing as how this is a newer version I thought maybe it would fix that error...if I can only figure out how to install the new drivers. Do I really have to reinstall windows and hit F6 to install these new drivers??! Is there no other way to update these drivers short of reinstalling windows? I am running Windows Vista. If I uninstall the Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller in device manager and reboot, Vista reinstalls the old drivers with no option to cancel so I can do it manually. Can anybody help me? My computer is XPS 410, Windows Vista Home Premium 4 GB RAM.
