    All drives now SATA


    I replaced my last hold out and changed it to SSD Sata type drives. I cloned them over and everything is operating normal. In a recent view of my bios, I noticed that I still have the "onchip sata type" still as native IDE. The bios MB gives me an option of AHCI. If I did that will it screw up my installation?? TX

    You can set to AHCI. It gives you a bit better performance. But you have to set it in the OS too - OS first. See here:

    From post #1 "In a recent view of my bios, I noticed that I still have the "onchip sata type" still as native IDE" is that what you meant?
