Mine has setting like yours. I asked on here and was told that AHCI is the "new way" to do things. So, I set mine to that and it has worked fine. The only issue I did have is not being able to boot from a CD/DVD with it set to AHCI. No idea why that matters. My DVD drive is SATA too. I need to play with that more later on. See if it was that or something else that I missed. Thought I would mention that just in case you try to boot a CD or something and get a nasty error message or something. May want to file that in the back of your brain for future reference. Dale :-) :-)
