I am frustrated beyond words trying to get AHCI enabled on my computer and could use your help.
Current Setup:
Dell Studio XPS 800
Win 7 Home Premium
Intel i5
Seagate 1TB HDD (Only about 50% used)
6GB Ram
My goal is to move everything to my new Samsung 850 Evo 1 TB SSD since my machine is older...
I have purchased the Samsung drive, mounting adapter and transfer cable but cannot get AHCI option
to appear in my BIOS.
After spending countless hours on what I thought would be a seemingly simple project I am ready to go postal.
I have done the regedit changes from 3 to 0 for the mcachi + mcachi and IastorV + mcachi+ Iastor + IastorV without success.
Then I read the my computer runs an Intel P55 controller which (I am lost at this point) means that I have to run Intel RST to be able to activate AHCI. However when I run the Intel RST I get a message that the platform isn't supported....
