does Lenovo IdeaCentre H410 have AHCI support?

[komputer]

hi guys,

i tryed with no succes to enable this option on windows xp x86, but the important question is if this machine supports SATA AHCI controller driver?

in my BIOS its shows only SATA enable/disable option. No IDE and no AHCI.

So, i want to know if the chipset of H410 desktop supports AHCI or no...

Hi komputer,

AHCI is SATA.

ok, then why in my device manager, my storage is listed only as IDE?

wherever i look i can't find any AHCI.
i tryed trough regedit, to find any msahci or to install using intel rapid storage drivers, but no luck.

Did you follow the instructions provided by Vijay in your other thread?

Did you already install xp or do you still have Vista on it?

Slipstreaming the drivers during the install is the easy way to do it.  Copying the drivers from Vista onto a cd and using that to put the drivers on when xp prompts for drivers,  F6 when xp asks, would have been easy also.  

Trying to figure out which drivers you need  after xp is installed is a little harder.

Right now, we need to know if you already installed xp or not.
