[SOLVED]Enabling AHCI & UDMA 6 without OS Reinstall.

Please help.

Running the board in my sig.

The operating system is running my HDD at ata/100 - udma 5.

I am going to enable AHCI in bios & reinstall my operating system.

Explained in quotes below.

Quote:
If you enable true AHCI on the SATA drive you then have to actually
load drivers (F6 or slipssteamed) upon OS setup. There was another
thread I was in where another poster an I were discussing this, and
to get the maximum SATA speed on an HDD with certain Intel boards
you do indeed have to load SATA drivers for the controller even for
a single SATA drive
This will enable my HDD to ATA/133 = UDMA 6 by using the intel ICH10R southbridge, I do not want to use the jmicron as I heard it is worse. As I tried the jmicron sata port, in fact it enabled my hdd at ATA/133 UDMA 6.
But when I plugged my sata back into ICH10R sata port, it goes back to ATA/100.

What I am trying to accomplish is basically, ATA/133 = UDMA 6 with my ICH10R chipset, on enabling AHCI in bios & reinstalling OS.



I need help locating what I need, "which I do not know" some type of driver from/by intel. I am running Windows 7 x64.

Sorry if my grammer is not clear.

Thank You.

[SOLVED]
1. Windows 7 would not boot with AHCI enabled in bios.

2. I followed the tut above that solved my AHCI problem.

3. Prior of getting AHCI working I could not install "Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager" driver period, it would not run...

4. Looked at my desktop seeing the driver I downloaded, thinking hmm, since AHCI is working now, I thought to myself will the driver run.

5. I ran the "Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager" driver, Guess what, it installed .

6. Rebooted once & then it asked to reboot again, on the second boot guess what? Look Below now.


I enabled AHCI in bios without having to reinstall windows7, I was able to enable UDMA 6 Finally running off of the Intel ICH10R southbridge chipset off of SATA2_0 ORANGE PLUG..

Gigabyte EP45-UD3P rev. 1.6 .

This was a 3 day journey/crusade

Edit:
I'm Right Excited.

Edit2:
Windows write cahce disabled


Windows write cache enabled

Tried this tut. Didn't work for me. Maybe I'm not doing something right. Heres what happens. After changing the registry manually, I go into setup and enable AHCI. There are 2 places for it. I've tried combos of both settings. The furthest I can get it win 7 x64 trying to install,then get blue screen. with other combos I get that it can't load operating system. Could it be because my board is 1.1? must I install other drivers first? Any help would be great.

Save your overclocks to a profile, then retry with default clocks.
I'll sit here and wait.

edit:
F11 to save.
F12 to load.

What do you dual boot? Operating systems?-64/32bit? First and second OS's in order?
