I'm at wits end.
About a week ago I updated a bunch of mobo drivers. One of which was for ASMedia 106x SATA AHCI.
My mobo, an M5A99X EVO R2.0 apparently has 6 SATA internal ports and 2 external. The internal are AMD SB950 based and the other 2 are ASMedia 106x.
What I didn't notice at the time is that ASMedia kicked the AMD drivers out. After much fighting, I managed to completely remove the ASMedia drivers, but I have no SATA drivers present now.
The whole IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers category is missing from my device manager. No uninstalled device even shows up or yellow exclamations are present.
I've tried AMD's catalyst installer which reboots with a notification that "Device driver software was not successfully installed: ATA Channel 1, Serial ATA Controller, ATA Channel 0".
I've tried manual installation (even under safe mode) which fails with: An error occurred during the installation of the device. The install class is not present or is invalid.
The problem is now older than I have restore points so I'm completely lost as to what to do next. Suggestions?
