On an Intel P35 chipset (Intel ICH9R), is it possible to switch from AHCI to RAID without nerfing Windows (7)? I installed Windows 7 with AHCI. I am not trying to migrate the OS disk, nor am I trying to switch from IDE to AHCI, only add a Matrix RAID volume.

Solved my own problem, but for reference: http://drnathan.teamhackaday.com/software/raidfix/

Works with Windows 7 x64 RTM, just rebooted after switching from AHCI to RAID.

I've never heard of that, only the reverse... Why (just out of curiosity) would you do that?

There was a big thread I started about it awhile back, it didn't end well.

Short of it is, I don't actually have a use for AHCI mode and all it does is add about 10 seconds to my boot up time. Not REALLY that bad because I don't reboot that often but Its just something I would like to turn off.

Turning it off now results in a BSOD at boot.

Again though, its not that big a deal.
