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.
Error message when you start a Windows Vista-based computer
after you change the SATA mode of the boot drive:
"STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE"

Hello!
I bought a PC with Vista Home Premium preinstalled and an intel G33 chipset.
However, SATA mode in BIOS was set to IDE. If I set it to AHCI or RAID, I
would get a BSOD.
So I enabled AHCI driver in Vista in the registry, with no success. I also
tried installing intel Matrix drivers, but the installer says my system does
not meet minimum requirements.
So what do I have to do now to enable AHCI/RAID mode on an installed system?
Thanks
