AHCI SSD Question

[teatime0315]

I just recently installed windows on my new SSD, but forgot to enable AHCI prior to installation. Can I still do it? Or should I do a clean install with AHCI enabled prior to installing windows? Thanks

I've done this on half a dozen computers and it's worked perfectly every time. Assuming you Windows install isn't hosed you won't have any problems.

if you're worried about killing your windows installation, as a precaution, create a system image of C drive with 'Backup and Restore'.

And assuming you're running Vista/w7.
