I have MSI P43neo3F motherboard, with ICH10R chip. I'm using XP pro SP3. For a rebuild, I'm considering setting BIOS for HDDs to AHCI (after AHCI, maybe RAID later).
If build my XP system with AHCI turned on in BIOS and running with Intel's F6-textmode drivers then, Question, can I restore that system image, using IFW from a bootable USB terabyte management thumbdrive, or using IFD or IFW booted from USB thumbdrive, to a hdd where bios was reset back to IDE? (In other words, like many commercial builders for workstations, I decide to revert to IDE ... AHCI adding only unnecessary overhead for my workstation use.) When the image with AHCI drivers active is booted, will XP announce "new hardware found" and automatically delete the AHCI drivers and install its native IDE drivers? Or, if I make an image with AHCI set in BIOS and installed by F6 in XP, then my only choice is to restore with motherboard bios set to AHCI?
To build a terabyte disk managment and pre-install thumbdrive, does the tool suite allow restoring an image to a USB thumbdrive when the image was created from a system that was running AHCI BIOS and drivers? (For example: 1, install XP with AHCI bios and F6-drivers, 2) build a terabyte disk management sytsem ... basically build a partedmagic system, but running windows XP, with TB IFW, Total Commander, Partition Magic, my usual text editor, image viewer, etc. 3) make the TB image, 4) restore the image to a bootable USB using Tools Suite, 5) boot to USB thumbdrive to manage system) -- I don't know if my bios has options to setup USB thumbdrives as AHCI or RAID (haha thumbdrive RAID system!)
AHCI image, IDE restore

Re: AHCI image, IDE restore
you can use Image for DOS or Image for Linux boot disk. If you use one of
the later Windows boot disks you can use it, if you use an xp based one,
you'll need to put the AHCI drivers on it when building it.
