Try to set iator to 3 and iastorv to 0.
reboot but don't change anything in BIOS. Does it boot?
If so.. post screenshot of "device management" again. Is "IDE ATA/ATAPI-controllers" in list, if so expand that branch

I booted fine with msachi at 3 isator at 3 and iastorv to 0

No IDE ATA/ATapi controllers showing just this in my attachment.

intel mobile express chipset sata raid in screenshot...what's th hardware-id? Device Manager - Finding Unknown Devices

Did you try putting msahci, iastor and iastorv all start=3 already?
Answer #61 as well

From internet site:
Go into the registry using regedit and change each of the "start" values in the registry keys below from 3 to 0 and this will allow you to change between the different modes by just changing the option in your bios each time you reboot.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\pciide =>irrelevant in your case

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\msahci =>maybe needed, but setting to 0 doesn't hurt

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\iaStorV =>maybe not needed, but setting to 0 doesn't hurt

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\iaStor =>maybe not needed, but setting to 0 doesn't hurt

No you can switch in bios from IDE to AHCI without problems. Switching from RAID is another issue

system also boots fine if iastor, iastorv and msahci are set to 3 (and bios sill on sata raid)?
sorry for not give you solution yet.

If not booting at all do "system restore"

Don't worry about not solving this... I'll try setting all to 3 later today.. but I installed my HDD I migrated from with OEM values.. This is what the values are from when new from Dell,etc. I never fooled with them before this migrate.

msachi 3
iastor 0
iastoA 0
iastor f 0
iastor v 3

post atapi start value as well as it is now

OK were I'm at the latest here is I tried..the above regedit values..from post #64. Restarted and it booted to destop. I then restarted and entered bios to change to aschi and it did the same as all other attempts.
It seems changeing the regedit doesn't do much to stop rebooting in Raid anyway.
On a side note I notice in the black start up screen it lists my drives as such..0 ssd 1 WD (which is my storage only and no systems should be on there.) I tried it with DVD in place of the storage drive but no boot either. So I'm leaving the WD storage in for now.
This is what I found about Dells controller at Microsoft community.. I don't want to reinstall too much to do over for me. But too bad there isn't a workaround.
Changing Raid to ASCHI "Probably the only way to fix it would be to reinstall Windows in AHCI mode. The boot drive no longer has the proper drivers when you change the drive mode in BIOS after Windows is installed. You could try a start up repair as well but I don't know that it would succeed since it may not even see the drive(s) at start up.
Richard has the right idea about your problem. Windows may be using different storage drivers for RAID and AHCI modes. Windows will try to load the RAID driver but the driver will not match the AHCI mode and bug check with famous 0x7B (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE). Start up repair will not work because it will not know which driver to load.
The easiest way is to re install the OS with AHCI mode."

Did you try putting msahci, iastor and iastorv all start=3 already?

Best thing to do (which should fix it).

Put msahci, iastor, iastorv and atapi to start=0. Not all needed but system boots fine. If so:

Make Windows 7 bootable after motherboard swap
Burn the disk and read carefully what to do.

Put BIOS SATA setting to AHCI mode, Boot from the DVD described in that tutorial. Just a few clicks and you're done. Post results
