I have 2 hard drives running in Raid 0 and a separate one I want to use for Hackintoshing, can I put the individual one on AHCI without having to lose RAID and my data?

Leave your SATA ports set to RAID in the BIOS, you just don't set up the 3rd drive in RAID, since it's not!

RAID is a version of ACHI, or visa-versa.

If you don't set up a(ny) drives in RAID, they won't be RAID'd.

I used to have 2 SSD's in RAID 0 for OS, and then had 2 HDD for Data/Media and BackUps, each separate, so the OS "saw" 3 drives (C:=OS, D:=Data & Media, E:=BackUp Drive).

I am trying to install Mavericks onto my PC, and the instructions says I need AHCI, but I've got 3 HDD's (One for OS X and the other 2 are RAID for windows) so the one that isn't in the raid array will work anyways?
