    How to make WinXP (IDE) able to run on AHCI mode?


    Hi all,

    i need some advise on the hard disk change with different OS.
    Everytime i want to swap hard disk with different OS, WinXp(IDE) to Win7(AHCI), i need to do change some hard disk setting on BIOS. Is there any way that i can do to make both hard disk with different OS compatible on the desktop PC without change any setting on BIOS everytime i change hdd? Is there a way to make WinXP IDE mode to run under AHCI mode?

    Regards,
