    Changed from AHCI to IDE and then back, do i need a windows reinstall?


    Hi all.
    When i installed windows my bios was set to AHCI.

    I needed to switch to IDE temporarily (had to do some tweaking to my WD green drive).
    Booted windows and it installed some drivers etc.

    Then i went back to bios and switched back to AHCI.

    Any harm done to my system?
    Anything i should check or worst case, a reinstall windows?

    Thanks.

    The short simple answer is no.

    The long complicated answer would be no, with a but.... as anything is possble in computers.

    Bottom line is no.
