AHCI mode stopped reconizing Hard Drive
Yesterday my Wife's laptop stopped booting for her so I started to troubleshoot it.
What I've discovered is:
- If the BIOS setting for the hard drive controller is AHCI it will not recognize the drive. (This was the default setting in the BIOS)
- If changed to IDE mode it recognizes the drive but come up with an "No operating system detected" message.
- If the hard drive is installed in a second lap top it works fine.
- If another hard drive is installed it works fine in AHCI mode.
Only the combination of the original hard drive and the original lap top wont work.
Am I missing something?
