Changing The SATA Mode
The SATA mode can be set operate in AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) or RAID (Redundant Array
of Independent Disks) modes, and needs to be done so before installing your operating system.
If you wish to change your SATA mode to/from AHCI/RAID mode you will receive a message (see below) to
notify you that doing so may prevent your operating system from booting, and may require a reinstall of the OS.
If you do wish to change the SATA mode then backup any necessary data required on your hard disk(s) as you
will need to clean all data on the disks in order to prevent system problems.
