unable install ahci

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

I changed my mainbord from N68FX to 990fx killer, yesterday.
After this I can't boot  Windows 7 normal/safe mode with 
SATA AHCI Mode enabled. Within SATA IDE Mode Windows
is comming up but is seems there is no way to install the AHCI
Drivers. (AHCI not shown by Catalyst).

Is there any solution?

regards,
linuxpaul

	OK, there is no question about changing board, but wihch mode was used (installed) before. M$ provides a Windows Patch for moving from BIOS to AHCI. regards, linuxpaul

	Welcome to the forums. By your comment I am guessing you did not perform a new installation of windows along with the board change? Whenever changing motherboards in particular it is always advisable to perform a fresh installation of windows. If you perform a clean install then simply enable AHCI before you install the OS and windows should install the drivers automatically. As for installing AHCI drivers on a windows 7 system without having to reinstall windows you can find what you need here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/922976 Windows 7 requires you to install the OS with AHCI enabled in order for it to function but this little app enables AHCI without the need to reinstall. Note you must run the APP in "legacy"/IDE mode, then restart and enable AHCI. I hope this is what you were after.
