Switching from Single SSD drive using a RAID controller to AHCI
I have a computer that was using RAID 1 with 2 HDD. I first removed one of the drives and attached my new SSD. Rebooted and let the RAID rebuild. Next I shut down and entered the RAID setup CTRL + I and removed the SSD drive from the RAID set by selecting (Non-RAID) in the controller. I then disconnected all my drives except for the SSD and rebooted. This all went fine and the system booted just fine. I now want to switch from the RAID controller to the AHCI controller. I found a registry hack online to change the IastorV > Start value to 0 but mine was already set to 0. Also I was to change the MSAHCI > start value also to 0. This was set to 3 and I changed it to 0. Following the instructions I rebooted and entered the BIOS and change the SATA controller from RAID to AHCI. My system won't boot. If I set it back to RAID it boots again. I want the added advantage of AHCI without having to reinstall everything. Can someone help.
