That's problem. AHCI is the standard for SATA, running modern SATA drives, especially SSD require the AHCI command structure. Running modern SATA drives in IDE (ATA) mode is not readily supported. -Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -

Hey just coming into this conversation. Here is an Idea.. Why not install a SATA card into the machine, one that supports AHCI. I'm guessing there is a free PCI or PCI-E slot. They are made, here is a link, I found quickly with a google search.. Bang for buck, it could be the cheapest option.

I was under the understanding that you CAN put in larger drives, BUT they format identically to the smaller drive. There are some exceptions I do not remember what. D. On 9/5/2014 4:26 PM, Bob Marcan wrote: On Fri, 5 Sep 2014 10:18:13 -0400 Scott Robbins wrote: On Fri, Sep 05, 2014 at 08:01
