[H] AHCI Mode
If you remember a few weeks ago, I installed an Asus Maximus VII Hero MB and moved over the SSD from the old system. I had to put the Hero into IDE mode to get the system to come up. Now a couple of weeks later, I'm looking at moving to AHCI and found instructions on the net. HOWEVER, when I went into the BIOS, the Hero is already in AHCI mode. I hadn't changed it. I find this a bit weird. It's like the BIOS and Windows worked together to put in AHCI mode. Ever heard of this before? ThanksSteve
[H] Problems with 'Unlocker'
Early this morning, I was cleaning up some files, transferring them to various disks/servers when I came upon a mp4 file that would not move. I copied it over ok, but when I went to delete it, Windows would hang at 'Calculating...' and I had to cancel. I tried the direct delete, that had the same problem. So I installed Unlocker 1.89. It installed but I couldn't get it to start. I searched and found that there was a 1.92 version. That installed and worked and I was able to delete the file. Then the fun began. I tried to go to Control Panel and the window was empty. In fact, even searching gave no results. I tried windows explorer and although I got the libraries, no drives showed up. Finally I just did a System Restore and all was fine. I guess this is just a heads up as something screwy had happened. Or is it just me. Steve

Ever heard of this before? No, once switched, I've never seen it switch back. Maybe the BIOS reset on a failed boot? T
Re: [H] Problems with 'Unlocker'
I would like to know about this too, Steve. Hope some of our friends can give us some information. I have an older version, which only helps about 50% of the time. I am hesitant to download and install the newer version after your question appeared. Your six is clear, just rest the nose on the horizon and enjoy the sunset.
