Uninstall “AMD SATA Controller” without checking “Delete the driver software for this device”. Under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers should be at least an entry with a yellow exclamation mark, AMD SATA Controller. Unlike the author of the original material, I didn’t get an error about the device not starting. Select “AMD SATA Controller” then continue. There’s a couple of directories: LH – for 32-bit and LH64A – for 64-bit. Browse the extraction path for the above package: C:\ATI\Support\11-12_vista32-64_ahci\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\SB7xx\AHCI. Action » Add legacy hardware » Advanced mode » Show All Devices » Have Disk. Execute the installer, wait till it finishes to copy the files to C:\ATI\Support, then cancel the setup when the Catalyst installer starts. Don’t change from IDE to AHCI. The driver that actually worked for my combination, which is AMD 780G / SB700 is this one. There’s no need to remove the entries without the underscore (amdsata and amdxsata). From HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services delete amd_sata and amd_xsata.

In order to remove the directory, you need to either elevate your explorer / shell to SYSTEM privileges, or take the ownership of the driver directory, add proper permissions, then delete it.

The folders with older AMD AHCI drivers are named something like: amd_sata.inf_amd64_neutral_c85cc6046149a413 (i386 on 32-bit and most probably another hash).

Until Microsoft delivered a 3rd party driver update via an optional package. Of course, I dismissed all of them with the classic “worksforme” as didn’t happen to me.

I heard a lot of urban legends about the Windows Update service that messes up your machine.
