Windows Vista Upgraded from XP Pro getting BSOD

Just upgraded from XP pro to Vista Enterprise. System will boot if ATA on
the bios is selected. Get a BSOD when AHCI is selected. I have iperformed
clean installs of Vista Enterprise on other drives using AHCI and everything
works fine. Does any one have any ideas on how to convert the upgraded
version to accept the AHCI selection.

Thanks,

Johnny

Do you know what motherboard you have installed?

It is a Dell E6500 Laptop. It is utilizing the Intel ICH9M/M-E2 Serial ATA
storage Controler 2928 and 292D. I know that the system can handle the
ESATA, ON new installes it works fine, it is only on the XP pro upgrade to
Vista it doesn't.
