    Well, my title says it all.

    On my Vaio SZ I enabled AHCI - my read speed on the SSD improved with new Intel Matrix Storage drivers - the latest ones.

    However there are at least 2 issues...

    1) Microsoft Security Essentials let's my log in screen hang for about 17 seconds...
    Logging this: "Die Abbildintegrität der Datei "\Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\Drivers\mpfilter\mpfilter.sys" konnte nicht überprüft werden, da der Satz seitenbezogener Abbildhashes auf dem System nicht gefunden wurde."

    Something about Image integrity - and it couldn't check the file as...
    some "hash"??? wasn't found on the system...

    I unistal MSE and it works... I reisnstal it, the first start it fine, the second has the lag again?
    (Event ID3002)
    The Technet article doesn't seem to useful to me... using repair and a Vista disc... I think I once had a repair from the recovery disc... all the Sony utilities stopped working...

    Edit:
    MSE bug it seems... (towards the end) http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msescan/thread/d93a4498-f247-40f3-b26c-91e719534789


    2) "Das Gerät \Device\Ide\iaStor0 hat innerhalb der Fehlerwartezeit nicht geantwortet."
    -> "The device 'path'\iaStor0 hasn't replied within the error waiting time" - if you track it down to an Intel page, this shouldn't happen with the latest Intel Matrix Storage Manager...

    Nothing useful towards this so far... found one comment of deleting registry entries... I'd rather not... apparently a problem with the Intel Matrix Storage Driver...

    And before anybody asks - I just scanned with Malwarebytes and it came up clean.
    (Didn't expect anything)
    so sfc /scannow didn't help far... (running it in safe mode...)


    EDIT:
    Who moved this? This isn't a security question... its a software problem as far as I am aware... ? :(

    Edit2:

    After a SFC /scannow under my regular account it logged in normally... but MSE was a tad slow to start... and the error is still logged... so its not gone... same goes for the other one...

    Are these issues on 32bits or 64bits? Looked to me more like the file path cannot be accessed than being corrupted.

    cheers ...

    well, when you change to ahci, there should not be a device anymore on this path, but something \Device\Sata\ or what ever it would be.. \Device\Ahci?

    maybe uninstall, ccleaner, reinstall?

    i'm quite out of ideas. but haven't seen that popping up on systems that have installed from the start with ahci on.

    mse, too, but after uninstallation run ccleaner to remove possible left settings files that might still point to the ide-port

    Well, I unistalled the Matrix Storage drivers - its tells me it can't find and load a driver for iaStor

    => "Loading the following boots/system drivers has failed: iaStor"

    And MS send me here (from the error log)
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756390(WS.10).aspx

    ...and unistalling MSE right now.

    ...and Windows Update finds nothing (as recommended by technet...)

    MSE is gone... nothing relating to MSE or Intel is found by CCleaner (yes it finds entries, but I don't want to remove them in case it messes something up, and its not many either, easiest to read and chose :))

    OK - I switched AHCI off in the BIOS - iaStor is keeping quiet... or maybe I'll enable it again and live with it, I don't know.

    But I don't like the MSE error - could people who see this please check their Event logs for Event ID 3002 - that's the unverified hash of mpfilter.sys because it couldn't find one... the closest I've come to any information is the social technet link in the first post - other AVs have the same problem somehow...

    Edit:
    What's happening? Still see the iaStor message... but 2 minutes or so after log in? a message that it couldn't find the drivers...

    Times like these I get fed up with computers :(
