Nothing like read manufacturer's site

The rom file attached is what they call "Instan flash", and the previous link explains how to flash it using the proper bios setup.

Registered an acc just to say many thanks to you.
Unfortunately nah it's not working.

It does add "Native Mode" to the selection list, after IDE and RAID.
However, when select "Native Mode", it automatically changes result to IDE in the first ROM version or RAID if use the 2nd ROM version.

Cheers.

Hello! I was wondering if AHCI could be enabled in this motherboard's bios (currently only ide and raid mode are available). Looked a bit with
AMI BCP, but i don't really have the knowledge for this kind of things...

The latest bios version is attached.

Thank you!

PS. Any other hidden option or stuff are welcomed too

I realize this is an old thread but I just want to put this reply out there in case others on the internets search on this subject for this mainboard or other mainboards with similar issue.

To enable AHCI, No special mod BIOS is needed other than the latest version from the board manufacturer if desired. Not all board manufacturers make their BIOS menus straight forward when it comes to AHCI. As in the case with this particular model ASROCK N68-S UCC there is nothing in the BIOS menus that would indicate a single storage device configuration with AHCI. In other words.. to enable AHCI mode the storage setting must be set to RAID. After this setting is saved, press F10 or whatever key the RAID BIOS instructs to configure RAID. Choose "Striped" or RAID 0 which support 1 or more drives. All other RAID configurations will complain that the configuration is invalid due to incorrect number of storage devices. After the RAID BIOS is saved with the striped/RAID 0 configuration it is now ready to install Win7, Win8 etc.. . If either does not recognize the storage device, the SATA driver directory should be copied to a USB and loaded during initial Windows setup.

I only came across this when an existing HDD failed on a workstation and I replaced it with an SSD that complained that performance would take a hit due to AHCI not having been enabled.
