I recently purchased a samsung ssd 840 evo 120gb for my o/s went throught the installation all was well.
After some reveiwing i decided to make the switch to ahci.
I followed the regedit guide and restarted. Made the change in bios and now wont recognise the hitachi drive in post and crashes out. If i unplug the drive and boot i get to windows with no issues. I can the plug the drive back in and all is well.
If inswitch back to ide it posts and boots no problems.
I have tryed swpping the sata ports and still same issue.
I have borrowed a samsung spinpoint 1tb and it posts and boots in ahci no issues.
Some may laught at my rig but its mine and i build it
Motherboard is a asus p5ql-epu

Best solution
Have you tried unplugging your optical drive (sata?). It could be throwing things out.
Also if your computer is trying to boot from the HDD and Windows was installed out of ahci mode it will fail to boot like you are experiencing. Check it's booting from the SSD with Windows installed in ahci mode.
You might want to try different sata ports for your drives.
