Solve : Enable AHCI after WinXP Install? |
|
Answer» Does anyone know how to enable AHCI, after Windows XP Pro install? My chipset is Intel 925 XE with Southbridge Intel ICH6R I need it so I can hot boot my external Sata drive. Thanks BrandyQuote from: Brandy on January 28, 2009, 02:17:31 PM It should be done automatically after installing your MBoard drivers... Have you tried this ? ?Oh I wish it were that easy, sorry but I already have WinXp installed, AHCI should be enabled prior to installing WinXP, even then you have to add the drivers using the F6 method. Thanks for the thought, God bless you JimEven with Windows already installed you can still re-install the Motherboard drivers... Insert the Driver CD and look for Setup and click it.Hello, How will I calculate Annual Compounded Growth Rate in Microsoft Excel? Thanks Quote from: patio on January 30, 2009, 08:05:10 AM Even with Windows already installed you can still re-install the Motherboard drivers... Thanks for the thought, I have the Intel 925XE chipset, ICH6R, in my manual I am told that if I want AHCI enabled I need to go to the Intel website and download the drivers, and these drivers can not be installed WITHOUT having AHCI enabled in the bios, and as you know you can't enable it in the bios without having the drivers installed, I am going to try and find a good repair install for XP and try the F6 method of installing the drivers. If you have a link tosuch a site please post it here. Thanks, God bless you JimHave you tried to boot up and enter setup and enable it ? ? If so what exactly happens ? ? ANOTHER option to try would be to remove all power to the machine...remove a side panel...and remove the CMOS BATTERY for 10 minutes or so which will re-set the BIOS to it's default config.Quote from: patio on January 30, 2009, 08:53:49 AM Have you tried to boot up and enter setup and enable it ? ? When I do that, REBOOT and enable AHCI in the bios, I get the BSOD, my PC will not boot, it tries, sees the beginning of Windows then shuts down and reboots, eventually I have to return to the bios and disable AHCI then it boots completely in windows. As for removing the the battery, the same thing happens. Thanks Jiminstall the drivers. reboot. enable AHCI in BIOS reboot. done. |
