desktop

First of all, thanks to you puntoMX for putting all this together. Appreciate it. I followed all your steps, and upon restarting the computer (the second time after changing settings in BIOS) I saw the usual boot up screen and the system test screen, but then I would get a message saying that this version (Serial ATA AHCI BIOS Version iSrc 1.07 08042006) only supports AHCI for CD drives and HDDs, whatever that means. Then the screen flickered and I was presented with a screen saying Windows could not start normally and it gave me the option to start in Safe Mode, etc. However I could not use the arrow keys on my keyboard. Finally I just hit DEL again and changed the SATA settings back to their defaults in the BIOS and I managed to get back on the desktop again. I installed the Intel Chipset Utility, but I can't install the Matrix Storage Manager unless I use the F6 floppy method. This is because the Matrix Manager must be installed on a system already having AHCI enabled. I have a Gigabyte P35-DS4 (rev 2.1) mobo with WinXP Home (SP3) so I know thats available on that board. Any ideas? Thank you.
