Hi... Is there a way to enable AHCI mode after Windows 7 installation, read somewhere AHCI is more faster than IDE, when i change IDE to AHCI in Bios , Windows 7 wont boot is there any Registry method.......
Yes there is. Boot in IDE mode, and copy the following into notepad, and save as a .reg file. Then double click on it, and okay it to install. Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci] "Start"=dword:00000000 Reboot (important!), and set AHCI mode (important! must be done before trying to install the performance driver). Then download and install (or download beforehand) the Intel AHCI performance driver: http://www.station-drivers.com/tele..._10.8.0.1003full(www.station-drivers.com).exe (its also for RAID etc). Its on http://www.station-drivers.com/page/intel raid.htm Don't download the 11.x series yet, they're alpha (pre-beta) and unstable. The 11.0.x is somewhat stable (seemingly) but are several months older than the 10.8's, which seem to work better anyway (they're the proper Intel released ones). Reboot.
