That seems to be it in a nutshell. Don't know why but that's the way it is.
Do I lose/gain anything by running ahci versus enhanced?

Yes.. you will lose perf on performance hard drives such as WD Raptors. They are being pounded by NCQ, a unneeded cache and read-ahead feature only network servers can take advantage of

Dont have cow.. its not a massive drop in perf but you know every cycle counts.

So just go with what you have.

Whats really strange is you can not shut down AHCI and switch over to ENHANCED IDE. Usually on reboot you go into Windows and windows then installs the ENHANCED IDE driver for the system automatically.. then you reboot again with a huge list of primary and secondary IDE's showing up.. the same number as the SATA ports on the board

Why its not working that way for you is strange.

let it reboot BACK into Windows before you screw with that to be sure the Windows Updates are registered!

then shut down and try

Somthing does not like the change

Just leave it

The change to the 64bit OS alone will probably overcome the loss so dont worry about it

Im off to bed got the flu
