About AHCI on a Studio 540
Hello I recently added a SSD in my Studio 540 and installed Windows 7 on it, with old HDD as a storage.
I have learned if I turn SATA Mode to Raid in BIOS, it will enable AHCI mode.
While after I done this, when I restart the PC, it shows bluescreen and the windows required repair,and can't start correctly. May because of the two disk and enable Raid mode
How can I only enable AHCI and disable Raid ?

Thanks a lot, from this post en.community.dell.com/.../19440975
I changed "Start" Values in Registry, and switched bios to Raid mode, and it works.
It seems that the registry fix has the same effect.

Hi NMY9172,
I assume you're changing from ATA to AHCI. There's a way to fix this by installing the RAID driver before you switch the controller mode in the BIOS. See if this helps.
