Enable Intel AHCI under XP [Case Closed => read second last post] in Pinned Topics regarding Windows XP Posted May 30, 2008 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/922976Now 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! 0

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!
