I think it is , the tutorial shows finding the "msahci" in regedit and my system doesn't show that file.
Mike, in IDE mode, the AHCI drivers are not installed. The registry edit 'forces' Windows to load them. A start value of 3 is not loaded. Changing it to 0, makes it load them if you reboot and change the BIOS to AHCI. That's really the whole purpose of the tutorial. I have always wondered why you couldn't install Intel Rapid Storage which contains iaStorV which is the Intel AHCI driver, then change the BIOS value.Maybe you could, I have just never tried it.
I just registered to say that after entering the first command and restarting the computer, it won't turn on anymore. After it posts, I get no display and basically, nothing works. I've tried switching the sides of the battery, replacing the RAM and a bunch of other stuff.
Do NOT follow this if you don't want to risk screwing your PC up.
If anyone had the same problem as me and found a solution, please contact me.
