Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorV and set the value named Start to 0: iaStorV start 0
Find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorAV\StartOverride and set 0 to 0: iaStorV StartOverride 0 0
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\ and set Start to 0: storahci Start 0
And finally find the last key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\StartOverride\ and set 0 to 0: storahci StartOverride 0 0
