Hi,

Can someone tell me how I can set up my Thinkpad T60P to use the SATA driver
in AHCI mode instead of Copaptibility mode as I do now?

Since I had to install Windows XP SP2 to upgrade to Vista, and the AHCI mode
is not compatible with XP without drivers, Vista now doesnt support AHCI
mode. If I try to change this in Bios Vista boots in to blue screen.

In XP it was just a question of installing new driver, make a reboot, change
in Bios, and everything started just fine.

Thanks for any help.

Boot up in compatibility mode, install the drivers, restart then
shutdown, change to AHCI and restart.

Works for me.

First thing to do is update the BIOS to the latest version.

I already have the latest Bios. This link lists 2.09 as the latest, but I
have 2.12 in mine.
