AMD A6-5200 SATA driver

Hi,

I'm having trouble with my Lenovo G505. All I wish to do is install Windows, however its been very frustrating.

I need the SATA AHCI driver for the windows installation to go through. My USB's don't recognise at the installation part so I've had to manually mount them into the .iso

I have searched on the Lenovo support for the drivers (which is a .exe, I extracted it and couldn't find) and AMD for my CPU (chipset drivers, which is also .exe - extracted and nothing)

I've got as far as "Select driver to install" in windows 10 installation. I just need the right driver.

I've already exhausted the Lenovo forums to no success. Phoned their technical support and they said "try reinstall windows" I said "that's what I'm trying to do!"

They then said to send the laptop in and the "engineers will have a look" - lol.

So its been a pointless task of asking Lenovo. I don't know why they don't list the driver on its own (.inf)

The one I managed to find and mounted, doesn't work for my system.

I managed to install this before my hard drive failed before, a few years back without any issues so If someone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

J

You can try to install the Windows 7 drivers, or upgrade to Windows 10.

I don't see this file path when I extract the .exe files found on support

All that is there is Audio and Display

Seems like your laptop may not be compatible with the latest Windows 10. You can check here from Lenovo Support about upgrading to the various Windows 10 versions: Lenovo devices tested for Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018) - US
