STOP 0x7B AHCI Fix

to ENABLE AHCI

Highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, File>Load Hive>[restored volume]:\Windows\System32\Config\SYSTEM>Open>Key Name = otherdrive_HKLM>OK.

Expand otherdrive_HKLM\ControlSet001\services and ensure the following are set:

Start Type:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\msahci

from "3" to "0"

If you need IDE,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\pciide

from "3" to "0"

This also works to switch a system from IDE to AHCI in place, just edit the above items in currentcontrolset of a running machine except make ide "3" then reboot and set ahci mode in bios Also if was nvidia chipset, nvstor set to start 3
