PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_0184107B&REV_00\3&2411E6FE&0&90: AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller

Download Link for the original SATA RAID drivers (v. 9.2, 02.20.2009,Windows XP), from the AMD/ATI website:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ … _75985.exe

Note: Yesterday morning I downloaded and used the version 9.1.
Now, the version avaliable for download is 9.2 and the .exe contains inside the exact same drivers, but they are properly organized in individual folders):

$HWNDPARENT\RAID7xx\ > contains the drivers version 3.1.1540.81 -> the one I used, w/ the matching hardware id for my Acer.
$HWNDPARENT\RAID\ > contains the drivers version 2.500.1540.47

Also, the package contains 2 other sets of drivers from AMD/ATI, namely:
SATARaid, "Silicon Image SiI 3x12 SATARaid Driver Installation Disk",
SRAID64a, "Silicon Image SiI 3x12 SATARaid Driver Installation Disk", (64-bit Extended)

I hope this info has some value and maybe those drivers can be included on the next driverspack mass storage update.
Best regards,
Zack

Success!
Back to the source (AMD/ATI websiste) I've managed to obtain the newest RAID drivers package for Windows XP.
The .exe file contains a couple of the AHCI drivers inside it, namely v2.500.1540.47 and v3.1.1540.81 (each one in 64 and x86 versions)among other ones.
I've found funny the fact that inside the archive there are multiple files w/ the same name, but in diff versions and all in the root folder.
Carefully I've managed to separate and organize each each file. After matching all I've built the two complete sets, each one w/ 32 and 64 bits drivers.
My hardware id was only present on version 3.1.1540.81 and I've decide to use it and built a floppy to use the F6 method.
Worked perfectly and finally I was able to reach the point when Windows XP setup recognized my harddisk. No errors messages, no BSOD.
Well, I believe I'm the first one to achieve this. Everybody installed XP using IDE emulation on the Bios. They said was impossible to find the right driver for this AMD Sata chipset w/ Windows XP.
My success is the proof that is possible to install XP using AHCI mode/F6 method.
I hope my efforts will help other users of the Aspire 5515 to downgrade from Vista to XP.
Take care,
Zack

Thanks.
Back to my research and editing files.

Zack

Trying to install XP on it, but nothing seems to work on this.
Always a BSOD.
The machine basic info:
AMD Athlon 2650e processor
AMD RS690MC/SB600 Chipset
ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 Graphics.
I'm more interested on get the sata working to begin with.
Well, I've tried the floppy method using diff versions of AHCI as well latest driverspack and nlite. No luck.
The computer still has Vista running and I've managed to find the original ahcix86s.cat,ahcix86s.INF and ahcix86s.sys on a special folder containing all drivers.
Analysing them I've found the reason why all the others AMD AHCI drivers wont work: my device id is not in none of them, but the original one.
I've tried to edit driverspack and removing "AMD 3" from it and putting mine, but my knowledge is limited and I'm missing something.
Any chance you guys include my config in your next update?
I can provide those files I've mentioned earlier, if they can help. They seem to be a customized version of ahci, and even the files have a different name from the default w/ the "s".
Also I have the registry keys containing the SATA parameters.
