    Yep, this should do it for you. :)

    - Save a recent copy of iaStor.sys into C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers. You can get it from here

    - Import the following code into the registry by saving it as a .reg file:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor]
"Group"="System Bus Extender"
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000003
"Start"=dword:00000000
"Type"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\PCI#VEN_8086&DEV_2929]
"ClassGUID"="{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"
"Service"="iaStor"

    Now reboot the machine and change the SATA mode to AHCI. It should detect the AHCI controller and prompt you for the driver, which is in the download I linked to above.
