wow thank you alot i really appricate you typing this out for us, i went crazy looking for a way to get my sata enabled on this laptop since i recenetly had to reformat this computer because i just hated Window Vista, so i installed Window xp and since i first installed it i had it disabled through bios, then i wanted to reanable it, and if it wasn't for your article i would of probably not of figured it out, i always had the files just that every time i would run the setup it would'nt do nothing just close up on me,so i decided to download winimage and use the "F6flpy32" file and get a copy of all the files on there and transfer to a foilder called "driver" that i created in C:\swsetup\SP32492, and then i followed the rest of your instructions which worked out just perfect thank you.
Of course, you must have some patience when you are updating the drivers of your system with Standard Sata Ahci controller Driver Windows 10
