P.S: Im a noob at bios and I need to unlock the AHCI/IDE Selection in the bios because I am trying to do a hackintosh and its necessary to have ahci....... I think my computer is default to ide! :/
So please mod my bios to make it have that option!

Hello now AHCI is default value, you dont see the option but i changed the default ide to ahci.

Try at your own risk, post result.

Thank you man! As a noob, how do I install this? xD I hope this won't brick my computer, I'll try it later...how big of a risk is it? Also I prefer if you enable the option of AHCI/IDE switching back and forth in my bios because I already installed my computer OS in ide ( i think ) so I can switch back and forth with my hackintosh.... Thanks anyways! Please reply and I will try this soon!
