    Hi there,

    I flashed the modded bios so I can change the sata mode to ahci but then it won't boot. On bootup i see that the nvidia boot agent gives an error. After reboot the sata type is back to IDE and it boots.

    How can I get my laptop into sata II mode so I can have full advantage of my sata II SSD. Right now it is locked to 1.5GB/S speeds instead of 3.0GB/s of speed.

    Anyone that can help thank you in advance!

    Yeah did that and changed ahci mode in the register in windows. Doesnt work either. Its seems that i cant enable it.

    I somehow got myself an extra option in bios called linux ahci (while i am running w7). That also doesnt make a difference
