Hi All
I have a Vista running on a new Lenovo T61 laptop, which basically run on a SATA drive.
To be able to install dual operating systems (a windows XP on another parition of the same drive), i had to access bios and change SATA settings from AHCP to Compatibility mode. After some trials and errors, and fixing the stupid Vista dual boot bug, now i have both OS workings. But i did notice that Vista had to install some new IDE drivers ( i guess because i changed the AHCP settings)
Can anyone tell me whats the difference with running vista on SATA AHCP or SATA Compatibility mode ? (Any performance degradation or speed or anything) ? Thanks

Oh and does that affect indexing in Vista ?

Some AHCI features will be unavailable. Like TCQ/NCQ, power management, hotplug.
In some cases missing TCQ/NCQ can cause performance degradation.
