I guess that the

I wonder why the SATA drive only does not work after STR?!?
Attached are my changes, which hopefully let above errors vanish.
Chances are high that this is related to your machine's uncorrect SATA register 
state complains.
I also exchanged some WordAcc to AnyAcc field declarations so that the compiler 
does not complain about wrong field widths, maybe it's even this what causes 
incorrect register reads/writes.

Do you know how to recompile and override your DSDT?

Do you already have the lates BIOS installed? Better check that first.
