    Hello,
    I've just bought a PX-128M3 solid state harddisk. My laptop is Clevo M860TU. When i restart there's no problem but when i shutdown and try to restart the system, it says "Starting Windows Millenium Emergency Boot, C:" and at the BIOS it cannot detect hard disk -> Sata port1 - <none>. My Sata mode is at IDE, because when i switch it to AHCI at Windows 7 startup it gives blue screen and restarts. I tried to update my BIOS, information is - BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies LTD 1.02.17, 18.09.2009. So, BIOS update couldn't help, i couldn't see a firmware update at the website. Can you help me?

    1. Click on START and in the search fireld, type REGEDIT and hit ENTER
    2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlset / Services
    3. Open msahci
    4. In the right field right click on START and go to MODIFY
    5. In the value Data field enter "0" and click OK
    6. Close Registry Editor
    7. Reboot PC and enter BIOS

    They helped me in the Plextor forums and ahci problem solved. They also wrote that there's a new firmware on the way. I hope it solves my startup problem and this will be a very pleasing shopping experience for me :)

    They published a 1.01 firmware update a couple of days ago and startup problem is solved :)
