bios storage option = ahci
device manager ata/atapi controllers = standard dual channel pci ide controller
just can't seem to get windows 8 to install/use the ahci controller....
- new system
- clean windows 8 install
- one new ssd drive and one new hybrid drive
- windows 8 installed on ssd
- bios set to ahci
- loaded controller drivers during install using usb flash
despite this process the ahci controller(s) does not appear in device manager under ata/atapi controllers, instead the ide controller shows up.what did i do wrong? why won't windows 8 recognize the bios ahci setting? any help would be greatly appreciated!
