- Device Manager Says Serial Ata Controller Driver Windows 7
- If you are missing the Marvell 91xx Config ATA Device Driver, here is where to find it for Windows.
- Oct 17, 2016 - In device manager you will see a list of different driver categories. Well as the Microsoft one, called Standard AHCI1.0 Serial ATA Controller.
- Sep 8, 2014 - I tried Start-up repair, but no go, it said it could not automatically fix the. It didn't install the AHCI driver or SATA host controller, and Windows.
- I have Windows 7 installed and device manager shows 2x NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller Driver Issue. One of these is in use and upgrades to 11.1.0.23. They both install 10.6.0.16 when detected in Windows by default.
- Aug 28, 2010 - Sounds like you need the Chipset driver for your system. You go this route is to not use the download manager to get the files, instead use the.
- May 17, 2017 - The SATA interface can operate in two modes, IDE and AHCI. Go to Device Manager; Open the section “IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers”; If there is a device containing. If the value says «IDE», don't hurry to change it into «AHCI». The computer will boot in safe mode and install all necessary drivers.
I just installed a new seagate 1Tbite hard drive when old crashed. Everything working but device manager shows driver missing for serial ATA controller.
Hi!
FIrst post here :-) Enjoy reading many posts on here before and usually get answers - except this time
Background:
I have an old nforce590 SLI motherboard with no AHCI option in BIOS (only IDE / SATA). I'm using the onboard NVIDIA SATA controllers, the only other choice is one SIS3132 controller. I'm using the latest Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller dated 6/21/2006 (it's the only driver suitable for my hardware according to windows (windows update is set to automatically update drivers)).
Problem:
After upgrading to Windows 10 I'm having problems with my Samsung SSD 840 EVO:
- After boot Samsung Magician gives an error 'Samsung Magician can't communicate properly with your SSD...'. This disables Advanced Performance Optimization, Over Provisioning and more, and Optimization which it says Windows 8 and above does automatically, but maybe not atm....
- Windows Optimizer/Defragmenter says that my c: is a SSD but 'Optimization not available'
- I tried to manually optimize in an elevated command prompt 'defrag c: /L' and got this error message, 'invoking retrim on c:....The operation requested is not supported by the hardware backing the volume 0x8900002A'
- I think my SSD is running a little slower now. :-(

In windows 7 previously, I had some problems with the SSD and the same Samsung Magician errors, when using the NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller drivers, and also when I plugged the SSD into the SIS3132 controller and tried Silicon image SIL3132 drivers dated 09-15-2010. The MS drivers on the Nvidia SATA ports I'm using now in Windows 10 worked fine in Windows 7 though. All I did was upgrade the OS and this new problem started.
Things I could do to fix it:

- Could try the SIL3132 port but since it didn't work well in Windows 7 I doubt it will work well in Windows 10?! (It's pre-AHCI as well :-()
- Upgrade the motherboard to get new Sata III ports with AHCI - sorry budget won't allow atm.
- Restore back to windows 7? But now I've found an almost replacement for DVICO tv software (no sound) and Windows Media Centre (sob). Love the new apps and love the new Minesweeper :-) !
- I could get a SATA controller PCIe card. However I've read that they never reach the full speed potential and my motherboard doesn't include an option to boot from s PCIe card. :-(
- I've reinstalled Samsung Magician. Tried the NVIDIA SATA drivers (they failed to start). Running out of ideas...
I wonder if it's something to do with my motherboard having SATA II slots and my SSD is SATA III (though this wasn't a problem in Windows 7, obviously).
Any other suggestions to try?
Please excuse length, trying to be as specific as possible!
After talking with a tech support guy, he diagnosed the slow performance of my computer as being likely rooted in the fact that I was missing a driver (classic...). I opened Device Manager, and lo and behold, under 'Other Devices -> Serial ATA Controller' I had a code 28 - driver missing. I clicked install driver, and Win 7 was unable to find the correct driver to install.
I don't know what sort of driver I'm looking for, let alone what a 'Serial ATA Controller' is. I assume this is related to the SATA connections I plug into my HDs - but is this a problem with the HDs, or the motherboard? Device Manager says that all HD drivers are up to date...

The SATA controller is part of your motherboard so you need to find out the manufacturer and the model of it. Then go to their website and you will find the necessary drivers.

IF the driver of SATA is missing then the windows will stop at the 'starting windows' screen. May be you had disabled the native SATA in your mainboard. Try to go to the BIOS setting and enable it.
