After setting the bios to AHCI mode system booted OK. Can Debian 7.0 be installed on a system with ide mode enabled, if so how does one do this. A search on the net was not enlightening.
AHCI is the standard SATA interface. If you set it to something else, then linux needs a driver specific to your chipset. I have never gotten Linux to work well with a SATA chipset set to "legacy" or "hybrid" mode; I haven't even tried for many years. You should use AHCI. If you need Windows, either make Windows support AHCI (NFI about that), or run it in a VM instead of dual-booting, or buy a second machine.
