  • Windows 8 SSD Pheonix Pro 120gb

    hi, i got a Pheonix Pro 120gb, and yesterday i tried to do a clean installation of windows 8 on it, all was good but after the first restart he won't boot, because ACHI Drivers cannot locate the SSD ... well i don't know why this happen, on windows 7 all goes good, but on windows 8 i can't turn on the ACHI MODE...

    im using a GIGABYTE X58 - UD3R...

    any advice for me?

    thanks.

    Enabling AHCI in Windows 8 requires going through the registry but it’s slightly different than how it was done in Windows Vista and Windows 7. You still have to modify a registry key but the key is different now. Follow the guide below to enable AHCI:

    1.Exit all applications
    2.Go to the start screen and type in regedit.
    3.If you see the UAC (User Account Control) dialogue box, just click continue.
    4.Locate the the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\storahci

    5.In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
    6.In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
    7.On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
    8.Restart and enable AHCI in your system BIOS

    And don't forget update all of the drivers!!!

    Most of the time we were enable AHCI in BIOS, then install the OS.....

        by the way, you can secure erase the SSD and re-install firmware for another try!
