Title: H55-USB3 enable AHCI = BSOD
Post by: joebejeckel on January 31, 2011, 12:27:56 pm: H55 usb3 rev 1
bios f7
intel i5 760
4 gig g-skill 1333
500gig samsung HDD
win XP

I made a floppy disk from the mobo cd for gsata ahci-raid
did F6 on install,

enable bios (intergrated peripherals) PCH Sata control mode = AHCI
Onboard Sata/IDE Control Mode = AHCI

and it wont start and just BSOD before it gets to load, runs fine IDE

??????

Cheers

Joe

I have an idea that Windows XP doesn't support AHCI mode and that could be your problem.

my understanding of the problem is that it is actually better to enable AHCI after you have installed Windows XP. This item might prove helpful: http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/how-to-enable-ahci-windows-xp/

This older thread at Tom's Hardware might also prove useful: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/244556-12-warning-installing-windows-ahci-enabled-controllers

Had a cuppa tea and A good swear and will read associated articles calmly, maybe even upgrade to a Win 7 .

Great Forum,

Joe.

is there a fix for this ? A bios adjustment perhaps,

many cheers.

They are so cheap now that it really doesn't make sense stricking with your old one. I just bought a 24 speed DVD RW from Ebuyer for under £12.

Post by: mozo on February 02, 2011, 04:30:26 pm: On my system I have XP with SATA II HDD & two IDE CD in the same time in AHCI mode. I've just downloaded the last SATA pack from http://driverpacks.net & slipstreamed it within XP SP3. All works like a charm.
