I'm facing a problem I never faced before: I replaced the DVD Optical Drive of my laptop with a HDD. The HDD is correctly seen into the BIOS but when I'm trying to install Windows 7 the Installation is asking for AHCI drivers.

How should I manage this issue?

  • You can either provide the drivers or disable AHCI within the BIOS.

  • I have an SSD so AHCI is quite mandatory. I don't have any AHCI drivers provided with myu laptop. @Ramhound

  • If you have a ssd then you had to provide drivers

  • Thanks for your support @Ramhound but I don't have any AHCI drivers provided with my laptop or with my SSD. I have just the migration tool. Where should I download the AHCI drivers?

  • The website where your other drivers for your laptop are located

The official Asus page is not providing the AHCI drivers for the Optical Drive Sata Slot.

I've just used the ones available here (my laptop is an Asus N53SV) and the installation just started as expected.
