Did you try cdob' advice

Quote

Add 4394 to txtsetup.oem and ahcix86.inf and try ahcix86.sys 3.1.1540.127.
Integrate drivers to source XP and ignore driver singning.

That would be the lines in post #19

Quote

[HardwareIds.SCSI.oem]
id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4391&CC_0106", "amdsata"
id = "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4394&CC_0106", "amdsata

In case it doesn't work, try doing the same for 3.3.1540.13

@ pluto2011:

I doubt, that you will succeed with the XP installation onto your SATA hdd running in AHCI mode by using any AMD RAID driver package.
According to my knowledge there is no AMD driver for Windows XP available, which will support your AMD SATA AHCI Controller with the deviceID DEV_4394.
What you need is the AMD AHCI driver containing the amd_sata.sys, but AMD doesn't offer it for Windows XP (32/64bit) and I doubt, that the Win7/Vista driver will work with Windows XP. Furthermore the AMD AHCI drivers don't have any TXTSETUP.OEM file, which is absolutely needed for the XP installation.

amd_sata.sys is a storport.sys child driver.
XP dosn't provide storport.sys, 2003 and up provide storport.sys.

I doubt a official deviceID DEV_4394 XP driver.
A modded ahcix86 driver package seems the best bet, however driver ahcix86.sys may support DEV_4394 or not.

According to the driver folder named "AHCI_svr" and the INF file entries this AMD SATA AHCI driver package has been designed just for Server systems, in this case for the 32bit version of Windows Server 2003 (NTx86.5.2).
Windows XP users probably will not be able to get this driver installed (unless they have modded the associated INF file).

It's a storport.sys child driver too, requires 2003.
Do you use a 2003 storport driver at XP?

The Driver works on windows xp x64 I tested it on a toshiba satellite a665s-s6075 with ahci enabled on bios the device was
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4391&SUBSYS_FD301179

I dunno if it works on xp x86, probably not like fernando says, xp 64 is based on server 2003 if a remember

[dencorso]

KB883646 has storport.sys...
With some tweaking, probably it's possible to install the AHCI driver in XP x86.

I have just integrated 3.3.1540.13 from 11.05 to a fresh Win Xp Home SP3 HUN, and it worked on the first try

And it had a txtsetup.oem...

EDIT: I did try it on a Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 (rev. 2.1)

@ PLaci:

What you installed is the "normal" AMD RAID/AHCI driver named ahcix86.sys v3.3.1540.13, which is officially available for Windows XP. So it is no surprise, that you got it installed and that the driverpack contains a file named txtsetup.oem.
The users, who posted here previously, needed an AMD AHCI driver named amd_sata.sys for their chipset, but this driver has not been designed by AMD for being used with Windows XP.

I am now using XP Pro x64 with AHCI mode on SB750, however i integrated 3.1.1540.61 and 3.3.1540.13 with nLite in order to install correctly.

After booting, running all updates, installing my progs, etc., i manually installed amd_sata.sys version 1.2.001.321 for XP64 from Update Driver>No, not this time>Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)>Don't search. I will choose the driver to install.

I had the driver pack 12-3_xp32-64_sb.exe extracted and navigated to the SB7xx driver folder.

It may not be loaded initially, but if the driver version is the same after reboot, one can go to the same list and select the "AMD SATA" entry, after the first "AMD AHCI RAID Compatible Controller"entry available.

Performance numbers are much better with my Crucial M4 SSD and i'm really glad i tried updating. I also have a ss with AS-SSD benchmark and Driver Info Tab showing 1.2.1.296, but i can't remember where i found it,nor can i find it again in my storage disk...

You can see my results here : 1.2.1.321 & 1.2.1.296
