by updating the ahci raid driver in device manager with the standalone ahci driver.

Have you tried to force the installation by hitting the "Have Disk" button and navigating to the driver folder?

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, System Drive: 500 GB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win10 x64 Pro

Are you sure, that you have highlighted the correct INF file and chosen the matching device?

i have picked the correct inf file. it does not get to the point where i can choose the matching device. i receive that error before that selection screen even comes up.
Or did you mean to not update the current raid driver, and instead just force the driver in through the add hardware wizard?

dg1972:
Thanks for having tested the 2 modded "clean" AMD AHCI drivers and thanks for your report. It is a pity, that none of them worked for your system.
My conclusion: Obviously only the ancient "AHCI compatible AMD RAID drivers" can be used for AMD chipset users, who want to run Windows XP in AHCI mode.

Hello
I will look this evening for a suitable �clean� AMD AHCI driver, which is ... XP, but what is bad with the �AHCI compatible AMD RAID driver�?

Nothing with the exception, that it is natively a RAID driver and not an AHCI driver. Nevertheless it will support AMD SB7xx/SB8xx/SB9xx SATA Controllers, which are running in AHCI mode.
