I can't turn AHCI mode on GIGABYTE GA-770T-D3L and i have driver for win8 x64.When I turn AHCI in BIOS just crash and won't to boot windows.Any help??
For to enable AHCI in existing Windows Installation's Caution: Do NOT enable AHCI in BIOS prior you'd done some changes in your Registry! If you had AHCI enable already, disable it first and restart computer! Use WinKey + R and type Regedit in the command line and hit the Enter key, this will open the Registration Editor. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/iaStorV right click on Start, select Modify and set Data Value to -0 now go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/msahci right click on Start, select Modify and set Data Value to 0 Close Registration Editor and restart computer. While start computer open the BIOS Page and set the SATA Mode to AHCI Save Bios settings and restart. Windows will now install the required new drivers fully automatic and should work perfectely.
If that first key isn't needed, the value will automatically change back to 1 or 2. So using the first key as well is just for to be on the secure site and not need to do the job twice! And we're talking about Windows 8 here and not Windows 7, Vista or XP!
This is all set to 0,but when I turn AHCI in BIOS then can't boot to windows.In registry I change everthing and nothing,still freez on boot.What can I do??Sorry for my bad English
In BIOS, Integrated Peripherals, you have to set OnChip SATA Type to AHCI. If OnChip SATA Type to AHCI is set, you should set the next: OnChip SATA Port4/5 Type to: AHCI as well. Do not set as IDE You'll find this in the MB Manual on Page 44
Normally, if OnChip Sata Port4/5 is set as SATA it would take over the settings from from SATA, in this case AHCI. Did you have updated the BIOS to the latest version?
Yes I updated BIOS to latest version.I don't understand on WIN 7 x64 works but on WIN 8 x64 not work's.What is happening?
That didn't worked, not in Vista an neither in Windows 7! I had done just an Re-Installation of Windows. If AHCI Is already enablerd before setup Windows 8, all should just working fine and id does on my computers! But I didn't use Intel, I use AMD only!
I try that,won't boot.When I want to install windows and I enabled AHCI won't start instalation just freez on boot and nothing happening.I set to Native IDE that works.
I think you should learn to accept that other having their own experiences which may differs from your not existing ones! And I would suggest to get back to school and learn to communicate with others in normal way and to accept that other also be humans who have the same rights as everybody else! Stop flaming and trolling!
I do all of that,but still I can't boot system when I enabled AHCI in BIOS.In the registry is set 'Start' to zero and nothing...I do all of that you suggested to me.And drivers for AHCI is instalated..Sorry for bad English
Many computers start to get BSOD these days because I find out that AHCI somehow becomes defective. The computer I have doesn't have AHCI but I know the next one i'm buying probably will. I remember working on a friends XPS because it for some reason decided to BSOD till AHCI was set to off when AHCI being enabled was fine before that.
Unfortunately many Hardware Manufacturers didn't update the BIOS's to the need to the new system in an timely manner. Personal I didn't have problems with AHCI and I using it since quite a bit of years, started with Vista. The only times I was getting problems were if the OS was installed BEFORE the activation of AHCI. If AHCI was enabled already while setup the OS, there were not any problems. In my main machine I've 6 Sata3 ports, 2 sSata3 port and 2 extra PCI-Ex SATA Controller's (both with 2 SATA 2 Port's) installed and have up to 8 HDD's connected to the machine, 4 of them in Racks (removeable). I could any of that HDD's just changing while the machine work, except that HDD with the OS running! By the way the MB is an ASRock 990FX Fatality with "Bulldozer" CPU. I didn't had even once a BSOD in Windows 8 (yet), the AHCI is just working to 100%. The only MB I ever had problems with AHCI, which I wasn't able to solve because of the old BIOS, was an Gigabyte with Intel Duo Core 2 CPU and that were at Vista times!
The best solution for forcing AHCI when installing Windows 8 is to: - Switch to IDE, start installing Windows 8 - After copying files and first restart go to your BIOS and switch to AHCI mode - Windows will configure itself and voila! It works! Now all you have to do is to install AHCI driver. Nothing more to do.
Please do NOT admit that YOU knows better what I had done on more than 20 Desktop computer's! Or did you? And just curious, we were talking about AHCI on Desktops and NOT Laptops which is quite a difference!
