Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) has no install the AHCI Driver

When I built my current computer system in May 2011, I have not encountered this problem with installing 64-bit Windows 7 Pro on the new 500 GB Western Digital HARD drive.  In fact, I installed Win7 three times (to wipe the drive with DBAN after the first and second installs) before I was satisfied with the third installation.

Before the first installation, I configured the BIOS of card mother Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 (Maj) SATA AHCI (with SATA 3.0) and copy the driver AHCI of CD Gigabyte on a SanDisk Cruzer USB (4 GB).  The GA-890FXA-UD5 (revision 2.1, version of the F6 BIOS) has an AMD chipset.

During each installation, the Win7 Installer reported that she could not find a HARD drive and offered the option to load a driver.  I used this option, and the installation program displays a dialog box with whom I sailed the Cruzer to select AHCI driver.  Each time, Setup loaded the driver with success smoothly.  Of course, I still have the installation of Microsoft Windows 7 Pro DVD, purchased with a full license of the retail.

Example: two years later, after that I started to meet various problems for which I could find no cause, no resolution, I suspected malware or corruption of the registry.  To make a long story short, eventually I decided to erase the internal HARD drive once again, after you save the data files on an external USB HDD.

Win7 Setup now follows the same routine, of course.  Except that now, it will fail to load the driver AHCI of the SanDisk Cruzer (!).  I've also removed the Win7 installation DVD, loaded the CD Gigabyte, sailed to the driver and selected.  The Win7 Installer is always not load.  In addition, before you run the Win7 Installer for other attempts, I connected the USB HDD external and sailed to a copy archived AHCI driver on it, but Win7 Setup could not load.  I have made many and repeated attempts, with all the storage media at hand, that contains a copy of the driver AHCI files, but not joy.

For what it's worth, I also ran the software on the repair disk I did shortly after installing Win7 Pro, and he couldn't load the driver AHCI of the SanDisk Cruzer with CD Gigabyte, respectively.

Then I reconfigured the BIOS of the motherboard to SATA IDE (with SATA 3.0) and rebooted the system.  You might think that Win7 Setup would have a suitable driver for the AMD SATA IDE, since she has one for the reader to optical disc Samsung DVD-Writer (obviously), but it did not find a HARD drive.  Then I sailed in the appropriate driver AMD x 64 on the CD of Gigabyte IDE files, but Setup cannot load it, too.

Question: why Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Setup does not install the driver AHCI, and what can I do about it?

Hello

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

AHCI (Advanced Host controller) makes the NCQ (Native Command Files) with connection to warm or hot swapping through host controllers SATA Serial - ATA possible; Vista was the first to offer this feature. The problem with AHCI is that it must be enabled in BIOS before the installation of the OS. After installing the operating system will disable the PC. The reason why Windows disable the AHCI drivers not not needed during installation.

I suggest you activate the AHCI after installing the operating system if you already enable AHCI in the BIOS, when you installed the operating system.

Warning: This section, method, or task contains steps that tells you how to change the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

NOTE: From: Error Message Occurs after you change the mode of the boot drive SATA
6. close the registry editor.
7. now you will need to reboot the PC and go into the BIOS and enable the AHCI. When Windows starts, it will finish installing the AHCI drivers.
8. you will need a final restart to complete the process once the drivers are installed.

    Hi there, Windows 7 system recently froze on me when I tried to move a large file on a USB hard drive. I didn't was not able to close the file so I decided to stop my PC with the regular start-> Shut Down.

    Now when I try to turn on my computer, after the "starting Windows" and Microsoft report goes to a pure black screen with just a (mobile) mouse cursor, not keyboard commands or click right work (eg. ctrl + alt + delete does nothing).

    I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, they do the same thing after the "Starting Windows" screen. Tried to boot with my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit installation disk so and entered commissioning repair - no problem. Tried system restore and it went successfully, however after clicking restart is again the same thing!

  • Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and slow down the performance of the system

    Its week Tuesday I had to buy a new motherboard for my computer as a (ASUS M5A97 THE R2.0) upgrade from my old Board that was used at the time. At present, I suffer from these setbacks and problems that I don't understand completely at all on the right, or what reasons is causing my system to the right way to work. From this moment everything that I know, is installed correctly with all the appropriate drivers (x 64) are also installed for the chipset on the map, the video card (XFX Radeon HD 6770) as well and nothing else that needed to be installed at the time because the operating system running the version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The problem that I'm facing here is that for some reason, my system is now slowly in response to any kind of program or an application (either Internet Explorer, Windows Update). I have flashed the BIOS and there now the most recent version, and the system is upgraded to SP1. Any ideas?

    Good so I found the problem. It was real HARD drive I had in my system. After you told me to do what you had posted, I started thinking and wanted to try a theory. I connect a spare hard drive I had in another computer, I like a build up of hobby. It's only 200 GB, but still more than enough. Anyway, when about and installed the operating system on it and of course I could tell a MAJOR DIFFERENCE in the overall performance!

    The original HARD drive that is a Western Digital 500 GB took more than 2 1/2 hours to install completely; the Seagate 200 GB took only 20 minutes! In addition, I have much better overall system stability. So for now I'll stick with the smaller drive, until I can get a HARD drive more be my main in my system.

  • Windows 8 Pro 64 bit not start nVidia nForce Ethernet driver after Windows Update

    Hello

    A couple of days, I installed Windows 8 Pro on my nForce 570 SLI with two ethernet interfaces integrated and an AMD processor and it seems to work very well. But then I installed all updates from Windows Update and now the ethernet drivers will not start. They worked very well until I did Windows Update facilities. I mean, otherwise I would not be able to do the Windows Update.

    Pilots initially in service to those who came with the installation of Windows 8 Pro. As a solution I forced the driver installation from the package of drivers nForce 15,58 for Windows 7 64 bit, but no change.

    The messages I get when making a diagnosis of Windows network is:
    Problems found
    The "Ethernet" adapter does not work correctly
    The 'Ethernet' knows of driver or hardware-related problems.

    The same messages for 'Ethernet 2 '.

    I was not able to find related reports in the event viewer

    Could someone help me please?

    Best regards
    LaurentZG

    Hello Manu,

    Thank you very much for your support.

    By chance, I found a post over in the Asus forum where a few other guys had the same problem. One of them stated that the specific ethernet chip has been sensitive to static electricity. If a light bulb then where I thought I should try to carry out the motherboard. So I unplugged the power cord and press the power button on my computer for about 30 seconds. Problem solved. Connection to the network is in use again :)

    Best regards

    Hi Danielle,

    In addition to the suggestion of Rock Star, you can try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1

    You can first try to start the computer in safe mode and check if you can boot to the desktop. Access the link below and follow the steps to boot to the desktop. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2

    If you are able to boot to the desktop in safe mode, you can access to view the history of update on your computer and search for the error code and the updates that failed to install and post it back.

    To view the update history, follow the steps below:

    A. open the control panel (all items view) and click the Windows Update icon.

    B. click on the link to view update history.

    To view the details of a single Windows Update. Select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.

    Step 3

    I would say also allows you to perform a system restore in safe mode to see if you can restore the computer to an earlier date when it was working fine.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    d. click Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Access the link below to learn more about how to repair the operating system and how torestore configuring operatingsystem to a point in time earlier in Windows:

  • New installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit does not install the Windows updates

    I tried it twice.  I install Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit on a ThinkPad T61.  After installation and activation successful Windows, I tried Windows updates.  The 'check updates' never ends.  After the first installation of Windows, I tried all sorts of bugs found either here or other Windows Help Web sites, does not.  So I reinstalled Windows, but with the same result.

    After that the first installation was impossible to install updates, I received the Windows Update stand-alone Installer and downloaded the stand-alone files for updates.  Would install things like IE updates, but no security update would install, as well as most other updates.  Yet once, just standalone Setup would continue to search for already installed updates without ever ending.

    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

    Thanks for the comments.  It's good to hear that you have actually solved the problem.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - 1NB PSAE7E cannot install the chipset driver

    I decided to install windows XP last night and for this I slipstreamed SP3 and all the drivers that I could find on the Toshiba support site in my installation CD with nLite.

  • Install the AHCI driver after XP installed for T400

    I searched and found different thread on how to install the SATA/AHCI drivers after installation. The thinking seems to be to run the file Install.cmd from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager download. However when I run this file, shut down the computer, change compatibility to AHCI in the BIOS, then try to start Windows, I just get a blue screen at startup no matter what I try. Any thoughts / ideas? And thanks in advance.

    Problem solved, Lenovo has posted the wrong link for Intel Matrix storage drivers in the matrix of T400 driver.

  • Why I can't install downloaded Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    Downloaded Adobe Pro XI. Will not install on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit pc. Get the message stating that the program is 32 bit and not compatible. I can only assume that the exe tries to load Acrobat in the folder 'Program folder' of 64 bits, and not the "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. What can I do? Try to download another? Download the trial version and use the serial number that I got? If I can force the exe file to load in the (x 86) folder? Appreciate your help.

    Thank you both for responding. Solved the problem with the Online Chat Help. Re-uploaded the file from Adobe (essentially the previous suggestion of the post, but not the trial version). Agency of Online Chat stayed with me through the download, installation and launch the program. Best estimate is that the initial download has been altered somehow. All right.

  • HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on a brand new desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest software, and when I run it, the installation window disappears shortly after it starts.  No error message.  I ran into several related issues lately.  I can't install a ScanJet 5590 on a new laptop running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.  Said it ends, but nothing is installed.   Could the fact that there are other HP printers installed on these computers (network printers) installed using driver only before attempting to install the software cause problems?  I spent hours trying to solve these.

    OK, much better progress!

    If the software is always installed, tell him you'll connect later.

    Go to devices and printers, look for the printer here, make sure you that no documents waiting to print and delete the printer if it is there.

    Then go into Device Manager and remove all photosmart series 3200 drivers you find, you may need to click displays hidden on the view menu.

    Thirdly, go back to the devices and printers. Select another printer, as the writer XPS comes with Windows. Along the top, with adding a device, add a printer, print server, you will see properties. What to choose and go to the tab drivers. If you have the HP drivers in there you do not, select them and choose delete and "delete the driver only."

    Now restart and go to your Start menu and your HP folder. You must have installed the software, just no device driver, select "add a device" or "printer setup and software." Installation should complete without problem.

    One last thing, you must temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus installation, in which case he mistakingly tries to block the attempt to install.

    Good impression!
