[SOLVED]BSOD when bios setting on AHCI

[Tex-Twil]

Hello,
I successfully installed OSX but now I have problem with my Windows 7 installation.

When I leave the SATA bios configuration set to AHCI, Snow Leopard boots but Windows 7 crashes during the boot with a blue screen of death + reboot.

If I switch the BIOS setting back to IDE, Seven boots but not OSX ..

Is this "normal" ?


Thanks for your help,
Tex

Once you modify your Windows registry, reboot and change your SATA Storage Configuration back to AHCI and you will be able to dual boot.

Re: BSOD when bios setting on AHCI

it's a pain if you didn't start with AHCI on the Windows side.

google this: enabling AHCI windows BSOD
or
enabling AHCI after install

for example:

ok thanks.

I will try to modify the registry, if it doesn't work I'll reinstall Windows.

I think I should search more before asking the next time.

Tex-Twill, I'm having the same problem as you. I had my Win7 already installed before I installed SL on my second hard drive. Now I tried enabling AHCI in Windows 7 and I get stuck in the BSOD+reboot sequence. I tried the Microsoft fix and edited the registry, but nothing works.

Any help?

registry + BIOS worked for me ...

What was your BIOS set to before you installed SL? Was it IDE or RAID? Mine was set to RAID for my Win7 install.
