AHCI seems to have been raided by W7 Build 7068 on P6T
Salutations - first post - great site.
Background - bios set to AHCI and memory set to XMP profile (no overclocking by me).
W7 performance rating/skating scores:
Processor 7.4, Ram 7.8, Aero 5.9, Gaming 6.5
Primary Disk Transfer 5.9
Transfer rate between the 2 Seagates is 36mb's per sec. Transfer from Western Digital 'alien' 3rd disk 12mb's per sec.
Installed 7068 from sata dvd - no request for drivers! all my 'old XP 32 bit' programs working perfectly, internet and home network to old XP system working too. Great change!
The problem(s)
1 Cannot hot swap other drives ie add 3rd or 4th drives live and remove live. I have to power down/ reboot to add/remove these drives.
2 Cannot remove the second Seagate at all! bsod. It was connected (new/unformatted) at the beginning of W7 install process.
This is a beta/test system so not worried about losing data/settings - just want to install W7 optimally for the gear I have (no games but may play with CS4/Gimp/Blender/CUDA/C#/F# at trivial level.)
Put simply does anyone on the forum have a clear set up sequence for clean install W7 64 bit/P6T Deluxe V2 - can either be IDE/AHCI/RAID 0 (2 disks) but must allow hot swap/removal of other drives and improve the performance rating for disk drives. HDTune thread puts me to shame.
By all means PM me if you do not want to contaminate the thread with motherboard specific info.
