updating the BIOS meant changing to AHCI. Now my work PC blue screens

Back up first. The safe-mode method works in most cases, but if u use real RAID volumes (multiple drives), switching to AHCI will break the array. Only do this with single-drive setups. good luck man!

hmmmm ok ok this thread just saved my weekend. any update on this?

oh ive been there lol on laptops with Intel VMD/RST, check teh PC maker's support page. Some models expect RST mode for features like power management, and switching may affect battery life or sleep.

@amara.rahman what did u end up doing in the end. ok this thread just saved my weekend

lol same thing happened to me make a backup before u touch teh firmware, learned that the hard way

finally got it working, thanks everyone

yeahhh if you end up in a loop, switch the BIOS back to teh original mode 🙏 windows boots again and you can retry carefully. nothing is lost by flipping it back. fingers crossed 🤞
