Followed all the steps for AHCI

[atwon23]

Just clean installed win7 on a corsair sata3 120gb force series ssd. I set my mobo to ahci before installing. After installing I looked in the device manager and Standard AHCI 1.0 serial ata controller was present. I also verified trim was enabled by typing cmd in the start menu search box. Then In the command line typing "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify". The result was a Zero meaning trim was enabled.

So today when I started my computer a message popped up saying a restart was required. After restarting the Standard AHCI 1.0 serial ata controller was gone. Trim mode is still enabled. I also went into the registry and zeros were present in the right spot. So I ran as ssd and it says im using AMD SATA Controller. So am I running in AHCI or not?

Check BIOS setting for the controller, I belief you are still in ACHI but with different drivers.

Probably. AMD has their own AHCI driver and it comes up in device manager as "AMD SATA controller".

I'm assuming your system updated it to the AMD one.
