My first solid state.

I do not use Driver Detective if that is what it is, but i suggest looking in device manager to see what is missing.
AHCI is automatically set by windows to match the BIOS
I wish you a lot of fun with your new drive :)

What I would do is shut down the PC, and unplug all other HDs.
Install the SSD, and plug it into the very first SATA Port.

Start up, go into the bios, and change to AHCI mode.
Install Windows.

Once your up and running, you can shut down again and hook up all the other drives, and format/partition however you choose to do.


Once in Windows, if you run the WEI and then reboot the machine, it will make appropriate adjustments after that first run.
(disbale Defrag on the SSD, as well as Prefetch)

This is all you need to do.
I wouldn't do any tweaks to it other than maybe disabling Hiberfile if you do not use Hibernate to free up some space.

nice simple sound advice, i use this method when installing linux distros on my ssd drives

I finish,i have done all the above,now im with my ssd here :)

But when i start the computer in POST I take this message

""Detective Driver No Driver Found""

I set ANCI in bios.Do i need to change anything else in bios?

Do i have to enable it in windows also?

I attached a screenshot from my regedit,i dont know if anci is enable in windows or not.

Any idea what is this??

Hi Panais, I have a Gigabyte board too, and it always says no drives found on reboots. It must be some stupid way their BIOS works.
I think it is telling us we have no drive in a RAID configuration.

Before the ssd i never had this.

I dont know,maybe is because i enable anci in bios??

Go to device manager, if you have this AHCI is enabled



Do you have your drive connected to the first SATA plug?

This makes sense .......... A wrong setting maybe?

I think you have a Jmicron controller on your mobo as well...and you likely don't have any hard drives plugged into it...thus it's reporting that it's not finding any. If that is the case, I would go into BIOS and disable the Jmicron controller if you are not using it.

Jmicron controller??

It is a RAID controller. I have enabled what Pooch showed too. If I don't an unknown Marvell 91xx Config device shows in my Devices and Printers.

Do you see anything bad?

Before the ssd installation i enable that in the red circle.

Now i enable that in blue.

I think i made something wrong!
