Greetings.
My friend wishes to replace Windows 8 with Windows 7, I have put her Windows 7 on a bootable USB stick and turned legacy boot on to enable CSM in UEFI. Everything works fine at this point.
The problem begins when the Windows 7 installer cannot see the HDD and ask to stream appropriate driver. I have tried dozens of SB700 and SB800 drivers, the installer responds that either it:
- did not find any new devices with the provided driver;
- couldn't load the driver, asks to ask vendor for a newer driver.
HP actively declines any Windows 7 support for their computers shipped with Windows 8, after many hours of trying to figure it out I'm turning for help to you.
The chipset: ATI RS880M - AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4225 Southbridge:
SB820M
PCI IDs:
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7804&SUBSYS_18D4103C&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_ 7804&SUBSYS_18D4103C
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7804&CC_010601
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7804&CC_0106
PCI databases name it either "AMD SATA Controller" or "AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller",
the BIOS provides no SATA settings, please help and thank you in advance!
