Hello,
Looking for some help, I obviously didn't do enough homework..!!
Hope this post is in the right place.?
I have installed Windows 8 Pro on a small new ASUS Intel H61 based mini PC.
Everything appears to be working fine.?
I had 1 "!" in the device manager that went after doing Windows Update.
The issue is the disk is showing IDE.? I did not set it to AHCI in BIOS, It is a SATA SSD Drive.
I've done a lot of searching here and elsewhere and found various registry change fixes...
But they are different.?
This one: IDE to AHCI
Goto:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\StartOverride
Change the 0 DWORD value from 3 to 0.
Reboot, and change your SATA controller to AHCI in BIOS.
You will boot into Windows with AHCI drivers.
"will it prompt for drivers, which drivers or are they already in Windows 8 ?"
"Also are there SATA Drivers and AHCI Drivers, or is one in the same"
Then this one:
To Enable AHCI In Windows
1) Run the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
2) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
3) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide
5) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6) Shut down
7) Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change
the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots.
When Windows starts, it will detect the change, load the AHCI disk drivers, and do one more
reboot to start up with them
Problem.?
I don't have the KEY = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
Finally,
I found this: Error message occurs after you change the SATA mode of the boot drive but it's for Win7
Also, I don't have the KEY = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
Any help on this would be really appreciated.
BTW,
I missed out on the VISTA & Win7 releases, So it's all new to me.
I have a Win XP Pro machine, now built a new PC with Win 8 Pro.
Sorry for the long post..
Also I think I have learned more about Windows 8 on here in a couple of days... than any where else
Thanks... Dave
