Go to solution Solved by Speedbird,

So I have an SSD AND a HDD. I want to turn on AHCI, but it doesn't work for hard drives. How do I turn it on for a specific drive. I have the MSI Click BIOS.

It does work for hard drives. In fact, it was designed for hard drives. That is why NVME is important.

If its a really old hard drive, you have to turn to IDE Mode (if you have HDD with that bulky cable)

I successfully hacked 127.0.0.1! Now I cant turn on my computer :/

As others have stated, it will work with the HDD. Your issue will be that Windows will be blue screening due to being configured for IDE drives
