M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 -- AHCI problem, and 32-bit Win7 SATA driverswon't update
I installed Win7Pro on this machine with the SATA Controller in IDE mode
and have been trying to get it going in AHCI mode: I've tried the official Microsoft method -- change msahci Start to 0, reboot and change BIOS setting from IDE to AHCI -- but it does not work. I get the colored "blobs," but then the machine reboots almost immediately and just keeps repeating that cycle until I change the BIOS setting again. I wondered whether updating the drivers would help, but I can't get them to update. The drivers on the CD that came with the mobo are later than ones the Windows installer installed, and I have downloaded later ones still from Asus, but Device Manager insists that I have the latest ones. Any suggestions? Perce |

Any suggestions? Set SATA1-4 to AHCI. Set SATA5-6 to IDE. Connect disk to SATA5. Boot to Windows. Install AHCI driver. Connect disk to SATA1. Boot to Windows. Perce |

However, I'm still wondering why it won't update the drivers. Perce |
