Hey guys, I'll try to keep this short. I bought an SSD and installed Win7 onto it. Shortly after I learned that the bios needs to be set to AHCI before installing Windows, but luckily I found a work around to that with Regedit. The problem is, when I go to bios, I can't find anything about AHCI. I don't even see an option anywhere to go from IDE to RAID or anything.. the only mention of SATA I see is what is connected to each port and that's it.
It's been years since I went into bios but I thought I remembered having a LOT more options in there.. but one option that I did find was "Asus ez flash 2" and I'm wondering if I could update my bios to a newer version that might have more options? I've never done this and have no idea how to do it or if doing so would even accomplish anything.
I'm havin a hard time idenifying the mobo for certain, but I believe it's an Asus P5QL-M-EPU. The computer model was an Asus CM5571. I would guess at least 3 years old, maybe older.
According to "System information" the bios version is American Megatrends Inc 0221 11/3/2009 and SMBIOS version 2.5. I'm sorry if this is not the correct information, I really don't know much about this stuff.
Thanks in advance.
