HampsterStyle: Words.
Don't want to spam the forum with text so curious on what I should post from Speccy. I did notice in my device manager none say SATA and went to my BIOS and whipped out the good ol' motherboard book and... made myself some coffee. :)

I was looking for mainly your mobo model info to grab manual and verify bios settings and see what other types of storage devices you had. Since it's your thread I wouldn't worry about spamming but you could also post text to Pastebin.com and then post link here.

The screenshot attached shows the registry key to determine if the AHCI driver is enabled in windows. The key path is located at bottom in status bar. The key "Start" should have a value of 0 as demonstrated in pic. If that key is correct and the appropriate BIOS settings are enabled, AHCI mode may already be enabled. In that case try the latest mobo reference drivers from Nvidia.com.

Interesting, mine was set to 4. I own a Asus P5N-D motherboard. Tried to look around in the BIOS but didn't really know what was the option I needed. Things surely have changed since my days of computers. =D

Your board doesn't seem to have AHCI support. In this case, I would make sure to be running latest motherboard chipset driver (nforce 750i) (nforce driver 15.57) for Vista x64. They can be found here. I would also check to see if your board has the latest BIOS version.

Latest BIOS:
P5N-D BIOS Version 1401 dated 2010.07.01

That info can also be found in Speccy.

So far I have installed the mobo chipset driver and have noticed that I am now able to play albums through my Zune software though I still cannot rip them. Baby steps!

I downloaded the BIOS but now have to find my flash drive to put it on. I think that's how I install it... :)

I attached the info for flashing your bios.
1. If bios file is compressed (zip, rar, etc.), extract and place on your flash drive.
2. The built-in BIOS flash utility on your motherboard may be accessed via 2 different methods.
- Hit Alt+F2 at boot and it should enter the flash utility
- Or enter BIOS normally and navigate to "tools" menu and select "EZ Flash 2"

Hope this helps - sounds like you're getting closer.

HampsterStyle: More words
Thank you again for all of your help! Will try it tonight or tomorrow since I don't have anything planned. Was hoping to do it after work today but "To the Moon" really captivated me. Wow.

HampsterStyle: Or you could listen to this guy. :)
I really wanted to make this the solution but just in case someone else has my problem they won't think I am a total prick. :)

@Foxhack Thank you again for trying multiple times to help me and showing me a really cool ripping program! :D

@HampsterStyle As you can tell from my attached image, I am good to go! Thank you so much for fixing this issue I've had for a little over two years now! Being able to rip my albums again is just so... 1999! I honestly would have never thought about checking my motherboard and BIOS settings. :D

Seriously, I am super happy right now (2am!) having this issue resolved. You two are the best!
