Hi guys, I have WD 1TB Black, and I noticed it is using UDMA5 and it should support UDMA6, in the bios, the Sata is set to [IDE] by default, I changed it to [AHCI], windows booted fine, but there is 2 question mark in device manager "Standard IDE controller" appeared and windows can't find driver for it and also still HDD working @ UDM5, I'm not able to find driver for the AHCI, I tried the intel matrix manager, but it says can't be installed. any ideas?

Thanks

it is fixed guys

here is what I did "If you installed Vista with the BIOS set to IDE make sure you do the below before you enable AHCI:
Type regedit in the start box. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, ControlSet001, Services, msahci.
In the name panel to the right select start, right click and select modify from the drop down. Under it set the value data to 0. Select OK.
Restart. Go into the BIOS and enable AHCI. When Vista boots it should install Vista's AHCI driver"
