Hi,
Amd Sata Drivers Windows 7 Install
- May 11, 2015 Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) Fails To Install AHCI Driver. Prior to the first installation, I configured the Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 motherboard BIOS (updated) for SATA AHCI (with SATA 3.0), and copied the AHCI driver from the Gigabyte CD onto a USB SanDisk Cruzer (4GB). The GA-890FXA-UD5 (revision 2.1, BIOS ver. F6) has an AMD chipset.
- AMD Drivers Download. While the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is a very popular high-end processor. AMD offers processors suitable for the everyday PC user, as well as for.
- When I installed this Windows Update: AMD - Other hardware, Storage Controller - AMD SATA Controller. AMD Other hardware, Storage Controller software update released in March 2013. Published: 3/31/2013. My system would no longer boot. I had to restore from a previous recovery point.

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.
Jan 18, 2016 About SATA / AHCI / RAID Driver: When you install an operating system, SATA settings (be it AHCI, RAID, or IDE mode) are detected from the BIOS. If you want to change from one mode to another after the OS has been applied, appropriate drivers are required. I finally narrowed it down to the AHCI driver Windows 10 installs for the AMD SATA Controller. I downloaded and installed the latest AMD chipset driver 15.7.1, but the installer doesn't update the AHCI driver. I had to manually update the driver in device manager and point it to where the installer extracted the drivers. Once I did that it.
AHCI (Advanced Host controller) makes NCQ (Native Command Queing) along with hot-plugging or hot swapping through SATA Serial-ATA host controllers possible; Vista was the first to offer this feature. The issue with AHCI is it needs to be enabled in the BIOS prior to OS installation; doing so after you have installed the OS will disable the PC. The reason why Windows disables the AHCI drivers not needed during installation.
I would suggest you to enable AHCI after you have installed the OS if you didn't already have AHCI enable in the BIOS when you installed the OS.
