ATA TO AHCI

On Dell computers, when I tried to upgrade the hard drive from 60GB to 160GB for Dell Latitude d360, there is a split of a second display of bluescreen (BSOD-Blue screen of death) then the computer restarts.
The operating system that I used during this installation is a company burned-cd that has files (*.tib) or an image file of the whole computer. They also have a boot disk and during the first step of installation, it asks for that specific file (located on a second cd). And so the installation went through until the Windows XP is showing then it continuously restart by itself.
I thought that there might be a problem with the cd or the capacity of the hard drive might be too much to handle, until an IT manager was contacted and advised me to just check the BIOS\Devices\SATA operation. The highlighted choice was ATA, he said to move it to AHCI.
And so I did, then I restarted the computer and there it went through. Tata!

Count then share blessings like Web traffic exchange to others.
