Hi, I have been using a Intel G2 80g, Windows 7 64bit for the past 3 months. I have the Bios set to AHCI mode.
I have now bought another G2 and wish to raid O them both, So I set the raid up in the Bios and being short on time I tried to use the existing Back up Image I have made with Windows 7, All went well until it came to boot then it BSOD.
I think the Image will not work Because it was installed in AHCI mode.
Does anyone no of a work around before I re install OS and all programs
Nope, you will have to do fresh install. OS image wont work.Quote:

Well worth the Hassle tho, 2 x 80gb G2's Rock:up:
Intel Matrix Storage Manager Technical data article explains you just cant mix AHCI and Raid
Congratulations, you did a full reinstall for nothing :p:
Going from AHCI to RAID and back is soooo easy.. if you know how. Takes all of 10 seconds on Intel-based motherboards.

All you have to do is change a single entry in the registry, reboot, set motherboard to RAID mode, done.
Works the other way round as well.
I also confirm this works. Very simple even da Goose can do it.:up:
yea ive done it countless times as well.
Is there an equivalent XP fix? That registry entry doesn't appear for me on AHCI/XP Pro 32-bit, and the iaStor entry (no V) shows it's already set at 0 on AHCI, when I'd like to convert to RAID to add a RAID set on my ICH10R. Windows repair install didn't help... :(
Nothing like reading the right info 4 months late, DOH!
