Don,

According to Microsoft:

Enabling AHCI in a system BIOS with Windows Vista already installed will
result in a BSoD if SATA has been running in IDE mode during Vista's
installation. Before enabling AHCI in the BIOS, users must first follow the
instructions found at Microsoft Knowledge Base article 922976

I tried to find KB922976 (using google), which referred me to the Microsoft
website, but the Microsoft website stated that the KB is not available.

So, I don't know what the KB says. Perhaps you could contact Microsoft Help
and Support directly. Sorry.

Let us know what happens,
