Hi there I just installed an Ssd And switched to ahci but my dump drive with my media/back ups ect was in Ide mode from the previous install of windows, There anyway to get windows to see it without formatting it?
Well, it's highly recommended to do a backup of your data prior to tempering with the storage drive either way! Switching from IDE to AHCI would require you to reinstall or do to a registry edit, which means you'd need to be careful and do a backup of the registry before editing it.
