You can shorten all that to: Before you reboot and change the BIOS do this part as you listed
::Start
Make sure that the AHCI service is started during boot time. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci and set Start to 0 (at boot time)
Now reboot and go into the BIOS to switch the controller mode from whatever to AHCI.
Save your BIOS settings and reboot.
::End
Make sure you press F8 and boot in to safe mode, install the correct driver, reboot. Your Done.
Clean up if you wish.
I have done this many many times works perfectly. -WS
