sad.gif Need some help here:
I took the advice to switch from IDE mode to AHCI mode since im using Vertex 2 (its been a year now only i know AHCI is recommended for SSD setup)
But then my windows wouldnt boot up cry.gif Its keeps looping during the window logo there !!
I think i did all the necessary step in my BIOS to enable AHCI mode. SO what could b wrong?. Im back now in IDE mode..

Do this when you are in IDE mode:

1) Open Run command ( type regedit)
2) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
3) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide
5) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6) Shut down
7) Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots.

Thanks stasio.
I googled and found out the possible problem/solution. It seems that during my first time installation of windows, i must set it at AHCI mode.
No wonder , coz i think when i install my windows its was in IDE mode. But i will also try ur solution first.. THNKSsss

Nowadays SSD prices are ridiculously cheap man. I bought my OCZ VERTEX 2 last year March at rm 430, and the bullsh*t part is mine is only 60gb (actual 53gb) and sata 3gp/s somemore!! mad.gif.
The newer sata 6gp/s interface is still new rite?
