AHCI BIOS Option

Expand Post »
My colleagues laptop had a problem where it kept rebooting unexpectedly and required fixing, I reset the BIOS and I could not boot into windows and the windows setup saying there was no hard drive installed after changing the AHCI setting the hard drive was detected, may I ask what this setting is used for and what advantage does it give anything?
