flyfishingrules2 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 How To Turn On AHCI After Windows Install This tip can be a real time saver for system builders (if you do not know what AHCI is, this tip is not for you). Have you ever installed Windows 7 and forgot to enable AHCI in BIOS? In the “old” days you were told your only option was to re-install Windows. Not so! The following registry edit will enable AHCI after an install. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/msahci Then change value of Start to 0 (that’s a zero), and AHCI will work.

lazylizard Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 A nod from me. I have used this a while a ago on a multiboot machine. Switching Sata to AHCI (For Hackintosh purposes) and Win7 and WinVista were fine thanks to the routine above. WinXP needed a repair install. LL Link to post Share on other sites
