BIOS is AHCI but Windows is using IDE

[maximunzito]

Hello. I configured my BIOS to use AHCI, but my windows is still using IDE drivers.

I've already tried to install OS again and to change to AHCI while in safe mode.

I've also tried to reset bios and to change back and forth IDE-AHCI. I can't see a solution.



* I can only use SATA 2 with this motherboard.

** BIOS version: F6.



Specs:

Motherboard: H61M-DS2H (rev 2.1);

Windows 10;

i3 3240 3.4GHz;

SSD Sandisk 240GB;

ASUS GTX 960 2GB;

RAM Corsair 8GB.





Should I manually install a ¨non-compatible¨ AHCI standard driver from device manager? I think this may lead to boot problems and blue screen.



Hope someone can help me to figure this out. Thanks!

What version of windows.

Why do you say Windows is using IDE drivers?

If you can see your SATA drive in windows, then it is using SATA drivers.

What is the real problem?

What do you see in Device manager. I hope that under disks you can see all your disks.
Under IDE/ATAPI controllers you should see your SATA AHCI controllers.

If you need new drivers go to the Gigabyte website and down load the latest drivers for your motherboard and OS.

But as I said previously, what is the real problem you are having?
