reinstall win7 from CD AFTER setting AHCI in BIOS
I have an Apricorn SOLO-X2 with SSD drive as my boot drive (cloned from my IDE drive). The setup required setting AHCI mode in both Windows and BIOS. It works great.
But NOW I may have to re-install windows (due to problems unrelated to the drive). The official installation disk does not see the SSD.
I think I can pull the SSD from the SOLO adapter and connect it directly to the SATA cables and install from there, setting AHCI off in BIOS, then setting it back on again in BIOS & windows after the install.
BUT, I'd like to know if there's a better (less painful) way.
