In the past I have always had issues with new machines and SATA drivers in windows installs. Whether its the OS install or creating PE media for troubleshooting I keep either getting blue screens or the screen never loads past the black screen with a cursor. I was wanted to know for Windows 8.1, 8.0 and 7 whats the best way to get these drivers, install these drivers in PE mode or into boot.wim. While I know there isn't a driver that covers all models but what about some driver set that does say all AMD, one for all Intel, and one for all Nvidia?

AMD WIN8 users do not install AHCI drivers provided by AMD.Use Microsoft's driver instead.
