yah the prob may be with the chipset

this is wht i found
s.bridge : NVIDIA® nForce 650i SLI (C55) Chipse

problem is underlined.Also note that with some MSI,Biostar mobos they have made the mobo in a way that we get the AHCI features,no option to enable/disable it in BIOS.And here is the kicker programs show it is in IDE mode emulated to SATA.

 

[zCexVe]

AHCI should be enabled from BIOS. BIOS defaults set it to IDE mode for all mobos as far as I know.
Win XP doesn't have a native AHCI driver. Drivers need to be installed at OS setup time, usually from a floppy disk. There could be alternative methods however.
Win Vista has native support for SATA HDDs, but better to install specific drivers after setup.

And FYI guys if you enabled AHCI after the win XP installation u have to reinstall windows.If not it will not boot.So better enable it when you reinstall the OS.

There is a workaround for Vista, if you have two controllers on your mobo like ICH and JMicron. Not sure if it will work for XP, but it should.

well, thts wt i was tryin to say

we cant enable AHCI for an existing XP system which was installed on a non-AHCI HDD controller

I dont think XP will accept a workaround.Besides SIS and Jmicron controllers are more pushed towards e-SATA these days as a result of 6 or more from the SB.

If your mobo has two controllers, it should work! Else i don't know.

Doesn't matter. If there is a SATA port, it should work. Not sure with eSATA, because AHCI could be enabled on those ports by default for hot plug/unplug features.

Get the 500GB Samsung F1. Can't remember the exact model number. Check their site.

lol moko me bump wenne?

don't ask me why there is a hump in the middle. the fresh drive, without writing a single file should give 230MBps right across the board.
