Hi all,
"AHCI Tutorial for SATA"
I'm trying to enable the extra SATA sockets on my Win7 =32, ASUS MBO.
-Things were OK until my second HDD started to fill-up, so I just added another....but these SATA sockets are not enabled in the BIOS and hence reference to yr Tutorial on changing the Registry ((it is now 0, so those drivers should be loaded)) - but here's the twist:
I press DEL for the BIOS,
if I change SATA-mode to AHCI the "C-" HDD and DVD drive (both SATA) are nowhere to be seen . . . on restoring SATA_mode they re-appear, in both instances the eSATA socket is shown as "not enabled".
Curiously the other two (unused) SATA connections are not displayed, maybe they think I won't need them.
I just don't understand why a MBO has sockets that then have to be enabled, using this long loop.
I've done what was suggested in the Tutorial (very good), but it's not allowed me to access any more SATA sockets.
The eSATA socket is particularly annoying as I want to have a fast Back-up. USB is pretty slow with video-files.
Any ideas?
MBO is ASUS M4N78
