I'm setting up a spare parts box for a friend's child and I am having a strange problem. The computer has no IDE connections, so I hooked up an IDE controller card in order to use an IDE DVD drive.
I'm about to do a fresh install on desktop and I have a question about IDE vs. AHCI. Which mode should I pick in the bios? IDE, AHCI or RAID? Does AHCI have any advantages over IDE? My HDD right now ...
