Hello! I bought a PC with Vista Home Premium preinstalled and an intel G33 chipset. However, SATA mode in BIOS was set to IDE. If I set it to AHCI or RAID, I would get a BSOD. So I enabled AHCI driver in Vista in the registry, with no success. I also tried installing intel Matrix drivers, but the installer says my system does not meet minimum requirements. So what do I have to do now to enable...

I installed a WD Raptor under IDE mode, which was a mistake. I'd like to change it over to AHCI or RAID. If I change from IDE to AHCI in the bios I get a BSOD, which I expected. I have all of the drivers necessary for ACHI and raid on a memory stick. Is there a way to get the system to recognize the drivers so I can switch over to AHCI without having to do a complete reinstall with...

Thus far I have been unable to install the adapter under Vista, using a driver downloaded from the Adaptec Web site. (Whether the drive itself would be supported, I don't yet know.) Does anyone have this adapter working on Vista? Also, is there a somewhat...
