Hi Everyone! I have a Gigabyte P35-DS3 Rev1.0 (ICH9) motherboard with a SATAII HDD and I use Vista 32-bit. But I CANNOT activate the AHCI features, such as NCQ. I know that Vista supports AHCI out of the box. When I tried to install Vista in AHCI mode: - Vista saw my HDD and started install itself - after about 5 minutes the intallation stopped (no BSOD, no error message, just stopped) So I could install it in IDE-emulate mode. After the installation I switched to AHCI and then BSOD under startup. So I did these instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 Now I can use Vista in AHCI mode but I DON'T use the AHCI features (NCQ, hot-plugging) and the speed is a bit slower than before... Can someone give me any suggestion? Thx in advance!
