Ok, I am going to re-install just to do it, so what should I adjust in bios for the AHCI?
Should I format first or just let the windows installer format as it re-installs?

It's not the .ISO that denotes an upgrade, it is the product key.
Here's a good number for Microsoft 800-426-9400
Installed fine and activated properly just like normal.
Must have been the wrong download. Should have just went with my original disc to start. Figured I'd get the most updated version by downloading a new copy.
I hope I didn't screw anything up on this SSD already.
Ok so now that I'm activated & starting to download updates, what next?
I'm going to install Magician & set it up for best performance.
What about this ACHI?
Were you offered a choice of AHCI during installation?
If not, wade through this tutorial:
AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista
Hmm, re-running Magician already shows that .04 bytes have been written to the disk, when I first installed it only showed .01 - not a huge difference but clearly this SSD is already a big screwy from this mess-up isn't it?
Hmm. I don't know what I want to do. I want it to be perfect. Can't believe it got messed up on the install. GRRR
I would run diskpart first inside of windows to format it & then restart with the win7 disc in the tray and do it all over again?
Is it bad to keep re-installing on an SSD like this one after another?
