I had a local PC repair shop install Windows 10 for me ( should have done it myself but desktop was in for something else anyway ) and they stupidly left or put it in IDE mode in the BIOS. I had it in ACHI for years so I don't know what they were thinking. In any case, I tried the registry hacks which worked great in Windows 7 for the same problem but Windows 10 seems a bit touchier on everything, not just this.
I hacked registry according to an expert's post here at MS community site. Only trouble was, one of the registry key that was supposed to be changed was called iaStorAV. Well, I do not have that registry key in Windows 10 in my LOCAL_MACHINE/System section. I do have one called iaStorAVC but not just the AV one. I did the change that one instead but it didnt' work. I get the "inaccessible drive" error and have to switch back IDE in the BIOS to get Windows 10 to boot again.
I have not seen in any forum anywhere on the web, including here, where someone had the exact same issue. So please don't gimme the "this has already been covered in millions of places on the web/Youtube", whatever. Not this exact same problem! Basic posts on changing to AHCI from IDE after Windows install are everywhere on the web but nothing where someone did not have the iaStorAV key!!
Can I create this key from scratch? And if so, how? Should I rename iaStorAVC to iaStorAV?? Should I try it in safe mode? Gimme some ideas here, thanks bunches.
