I am running Vista Premium on a SATA drive today, but the manufacturer configured it as "IDE". I would like to switch to "AHCI", which is supported by my motherboard and BIOS.
I changed, but Windows would not boot (said some hardware had changed, needed to repair).
So I switched back for now.
After reading the sticky, is there way I can convert from IDE to AHCI without going out an purchasing a separate controller card? Can I just need to boot off the Vista DVD and tell it to repair? I certainly dont want to trash my existing install.
