Switching Windows 8 from AHCI to ATA/IDE or reverse

I was having Intel Rapid Storage Technology RST issues with a newly installed drive...did not need performance so switched BIOS to RAID auto/ ATA to eliminate the Intel RAID controller usage

  • Run msconfig (right click far left bottom corner of desktop then left click run, type msconfig).
  • Click boot tab, mark safe boot, restart, change to AHCI in BIOS, boot, Windows boots in safe mode.
  • Run msconfig again, boot tab unmark safe boot, restart PC.
