I recently reinstalled windows 7 on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (revision 2.0) motherboard with an SSD hard drive. I was reading about IDE vs AHCI and the consensus seemed to be that AHCI was better unless you needed to support a legacy OS.
So in the BIOS I switched the SATA channel mode from IDE to AHCI. Now since doing that windows gives a message:
"Detecting hard drives; Done; No drives found"
This is then followed by a "PCI Device Listing" and a "Verifying DMI Data Pool" message.
Then windows precedes to boot up normally (the only odd thing after starting is that the hard drive is showing in the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media
system tray item).
On the previous Windows installation, the BIOS had been set to IDE and I did not see this message. Why is it showing this message and how can I fix it?

You asked why you suddenly see the "Detecting hard drives; No drives found" message, and I explained it. – LPChip – 2014-08-03T07:28:15.247
