Default How do I install XP w/sata set to AHCI mode?
I was told that for optimum SSD performance the OS should be installed in AHCI mode.

I can't get it to work. Probably just need some guidance.

I get either no storage device detected or BSOD when I try installing in AHCI mode.

I searched the net and found instructions for changing it to AHCI after installing in IDE mode using regedit then bios, but the registry key referred to does not exist.
