| | Change IDE to AHCI, is seen as harware change, so reactivate Vista ..I installed VISTA Home premium on my Laptop, in the BIOS I first had the option IDE activated and VISTA works fine (product key Genuine and activated). Now I changed the setting in my Bios to AHCI and then I have to reactivate my product key (which obvious does not work). What should I do, I need the AHCI option as the Turbo mem oly works with AHCI. I wantto be able to make settings in my Bios without reactivating keys |

| | Re: Change IDE to AHCI, is seen as harware change, so reactivate Vista Hello Sip, If Windows requires reactivating after setting AHCI mode, you can use the "Activate by telephone" option. If activation does not happen automatically, stay on the line until you get to speak to a real human. -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.
