Well this sucks, I changed it back to AHCI to reload Windows 7 and Linux from XP and now my BIOS is corrupted. I tried the recovery steps but it is not working. Removed battery/power cable then I removed the CMOS battery. I put the battery back in. On a flash drive I put the BIOS on a flash drive(see below for layout of the flash drive) and plugged it in the laptop. Held Win+b plugged the power in. Waited a few secs and powered on the laptop.
