Hi all,
I upgraded my Gigabyte EX58-UD5 bios from F3 to F12 a couple days back. My Windows7 was setup just fine to run AHCI (UDMA 7 as shown on HDTUNE)
I took apart my computer yesterday to re-do the wiring, tuck everything nice and clean.
I changed the slots that some of the HDs are connected to, and then when I rebooted, all my SATA drives stopped working!
Here is the error I get:
-----
Serial ATA AHCI Bios, Version iSRC 1.20E
Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation_________________________23
** This version supports only HardDisks & CDROM drives **
Please wait. This will take a few seconds.
Controller Bus#00, Device #1F, Function #02: 06 Ports, 05 Devices

It just freezes on the above screen, if memory serves correctly, the number 23 was always showing as 16 before when everything was going fine.
So I went to bios, resetted the defaults to IDE, and voila, the computer now boots flawlessly, all my drives are working etc.
So I go back to bios, change it to AHCI / Native, and same problem, reset to IDE, it works, change to AHCI / Legacy, and same problem.
So I figure, no problem, I will format (the answer to everything), so I reset, and change it back to IDE, and then change to AHCI/Native before spamming F12 to get to boot menu so I can format. But the boot menu happens after the screen, so now I can't even get to the boot menu that will let me boot from CD if I have the system set to AHCI!!
So I reset to IDE, boot from CD, format, reinstall Win7, no problems. Change it back to AHCI, and the problem is back!!
I know for sure that when I installed last year, I had set my bios to AHCI BEFORE INSTALLING WINDOWS 7, but now it seems I can't even do that.
It seems that I am stuck using all my drives in non-sata mode forever now??
This can't be right... Surely there is a work around...
Oh and I did a search for: bios hang "serial ATA AHCI BIOS, version isrc" on google and got this Google . It looks like the problem is mainly on gigabyte motherboards, but I don't see a solution, most say just set to ahci and reformat, I'd love to but I can't do that cause it won't let me get to the BOOT FROM menu with bios set to AHCI!!!
THANKS A LOT!
