Hello,
I have an old IBM ThinkPad G40 with an mSATA to IDE adapter so I could use an SSD in the machine. The installation went just fine. However, when I boot the machine (from the drive), it says "Operating System Not Found". I'm not sure if this is related, but the BIOS does not have any option to change between AHCI and compatibility mode. Do I have to align the SSD on a certain boundary or something like that for the BIOS to be able to boot the operating system? What about the partitioning scheme? Being an old machine, I chose MBR, but perhaps I can use GPT?
Thanks.
