Hello geos_one,

I will take a look at your BIOS image to see if the AHCI setting can be unlocked. I will also look for any other menus/settings that could be added.

Hello geos_one,

It appears that this is an Award BIOS. I am going to move this thread to the Award BIOS Unlocking Requests forum so that it can get more attention from Award BIOS modders.
