Enabling generic SATA AHCI in Windows 7

After you use the BIOS setup of a Windows 7-based computer or a Windows Vista-based computer to change the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) mode of the boot drive to use either the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) specification or redundant array of independent disks (RAID) features, you receive the following error message when the computer is restarted: 

STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE

Installing sqlite3 binary on Android RAZR MAXX (Running ICS)

Download SuperOneClick from cnet

You will need adnroid sdk tools, I am using version 10

A rooted RAZR Maxx with ICS

Turn on "USB Debugging" on your phone.

Copy sqlite3 binary from the SuperOneClick package above to the SD Card of your phone.

The open a command window and change directory to wherever you have extracted the sdk tools zipped file.
Then run the following commands

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
cp /mnt/sdcard-ext/sqlite3 /system/bin
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sqlite3
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system

.. and you are done.
I needed to do this to use sqlite to turn on the Mobile Hotspot on my phone.
