AHCI problems? Read here!

Hi,

you most likely came here cause you have a problem with AHCI, either something crashed, your disc wasn't recognized or something similar. Ok, the first problem is that OSX needs AHCI to work. AHCI stands for Advanced Host Controller Interface and is a open interface definition for SATA controllers.

Since this is a very widely used thing, you will have an option in your Bios for this, sometimes it goes by names like SATA Configuration too. If you are unable to find it there and you see an option RAID instead, disable RAID in the Bios first and check if it appears.

Good luck and happy Hackint0shing!

stuck on the same issue but i dont see the option

Yes, i too have this issue where the osx installer dvd cannot be detected. I have gone through the CMOS Setup Utility on my ECS G41T-R3 motherboard and I see no option which allows me to set anything to AHCI mode. IT is sooo frustrating and I would really appreciate some help on this matter. BIOS is AMI.

The thing is that when I change to AHCI, my HDD doesnt not boot, after POST my screen goes black
