Hi,
just purchased a Samsung 840evo and cloned OS drive to it. Boot works great, drive is fast, now the utility tells me I don't have AHCI enabled. So I've followed various posts on how to enable Windows to load AHCI drivers w/o OS reinstall but I still get blue screen whenever I'm booting. With more detail:
* I've changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_Msahci : "Start" to 0 (did the same with pciide and iaStorV) as http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 suggests.
* When I change the BIOS to AHCI I get blue screen, and even safe mode doesn't work. When I change back to IDE, all is well.
Various forums suggest that this regedit solution indeed works w/o OS exclusions - has anyone come across a reason it shouldn't work for my setup?
