You don't want to be messing in that screen.

All it's for is setting up a RAID array which is of no relevance to you.

I assume you've set the SATA mode to RAID in the BIOS to be seeing that screen.

Is that deliberate because you're using SSD caching?

If it's not can you set it to AHCI instead?

Set it back to RAID, boot into windows and do this:

A little guide:

I am receiving a lot of emails from users who bought a SSD drive, installed Windows 7 in IDE mode and then realize they need AHCI mode for faster SSD performance. Once you enable that in the BIOS during Windows 7 boot up, the OS will crash.

The common question is, is there a solve for this ?

To answer that question (and I do this safely with all Intel ICHR9/10 chipsets) there is a way to safely enable AHCI mode. Here we go:

1. Startup "Regedit
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlset / Services
3. Open msahci
4. In the right field left click on "start" and go to Modify
5. In the value Data field enter "0" and click "ok"
6. exit "Regedit"



We have not tested this on Vista though.

Another guide, more visual:

After you did that, reboot and enter the BIOS and set to AHCI.
