I have changed nothing with my system. I wake up this morning, hearing the hd clicking away (vista doing its indexing thing?) and go try to open up IE. Nothing happens, and everything is just very slow, waiting 30 seconds to show a click. It won't reboot and I wasn't going to wait 5 minutes to do it, so I held in the power button, shut it down, then turned it back on. It does POST, then I see the Dell screen with boot menu and setup, that goes away and I get an error message that says "AHCI Bios not Installed."
Now I've reset the CMOS and now my error is "diskette drive 0 seek failure." So I disable the floppy drive in the bios, since I don't have one, and it brings me right back to the ahci bios not intalled error.
This is a 1 month old dell inspiron 530. e6550, 2x1gb gskill 6400, 2x512mb samsung 5300. Been running fine until now.
